Asteroid occultation event on 2019 November 14
I've prepared finder charts from:
Digital Sky Survey (15 x 15 arcmin) and The Sky 6 (15x11 arcmin)
This is a rare event as the star being occult is Gamma Tauri, of magnitude 3.8 and is located at the vertex of the Hyades. Thus, simple photographic equipment that comes with time-stamp can be used. Anyone who like to venture into asteroid occultation timing should take this chance to begin.
