May 24th 1860 Lunar occultation of Jupiter
I
have come across a report from Saturday May 24th 1860 of
an occultation of Jupiter by the Moon observed from Manchester.
The
occultation began at 4.34 pm and I quote “ Jupiter should have
appeared at 6.13 pm but had not, this could be due to superfluous
light above and below. By 7.00 pm I could distinguish Jupiter easily.
I observed Jupiter until 8.00 pm when it became cloudy”.
