The Occultation of a 13.6 star by Andree

This event centers over Tres Pinos, with 27% odds of a hit from Santa Cruz and 40% odds from the centerline. Given the low odds, I'm deciding to just give it a try from home. The C2A catalog says "blended image" and most likely a binary star. So, what to expect is unclear. The duration is 2.5s and it's bright enough that at 16x we should get a definite event if it happens.
