I was able to observe an eclipse of V2051 Oph in it's current outburst.  The
observations were difficult as the star was located quite close to the Moon.
Normally I would be able to see below 15th mag with my 16" reflector (x380),
however the limiting mag was reduced to about 14.0 due to the bright sky.  The
time for the eclipse coincided quite closely with your prediction.  The accuracy
of my time measurement was probably only good to the nearest minute.
