This event is bright enough to be do-able, but the RUWE is 3.95, on the high side. The odds of a miss are significant, but the odds of a hit are also decent. Duration is 0.8s. I'd suggest 4x as a setting, but if the skies are good enough, then maybe 2x.
Alt=52, Az=157 in Sextans, below Leo, 10 degrees below right of Regulus, the blue first magnitude star in the backwards "question mark" of the head of the Lion.
Mag drop is 4.8, not really a complete drop to zero.

I recorded from home, outside my carport. It looked like a miss on-screen. The light curve is a bit noisy at 4x, but I can clearly see the star on each integration around the predicted time. Reported as a "miss".

Recorded from home, looked like a miss on live monitor and on playback.
Recorded from "the Rock" at home, and also had a miss.
