This is a bright event at good altitude. It's not a perfect event; RUWE is 1.30 which is above the 1.20 limit for reliable star position. And, it's only 5 degrees from the very gibbous moon. But if clear, the star should stand out well enough to do it. Use short exposure of course.

Alt=33, Az=79 in Aries, 5 degrees above/left of the moon.
