Hi Greg, You've got the right occultation but the wrong star. The star was Aldebaran, the 'Eye of the Bull'. Arcturus was also in the sky but in the east rather than west. They have similar colors but Arcturus is not located on the ecliptic so it will never be occulted by the moon. The occultation was breathtaking, I watched it on my school's C14. Darryl
