The Occultation of a R=11.4 Star by Thule

This is a good long event at 5s duration. Feel free to integrate longer if needed. Wide path, with Kirk on southern limit, Karl on northern limit, Cabrillo in the middle but likely fogged out. I recommend Kirk go up to the UCSC upper meadow. Karl can try to drive further down Highland for better odds, towards Ormsby direction. 46 alt, Az=263. Moon is 18 deg away, sun=-12 but that's probably OK for this 12.1 star.
