   Great!  This is probably the brigtest (?) GCAS star occulted by the
Moon.  If the stellar acrivity still continues in 2004 (less likely?),
we may have a chance to make the observation stated.  If the disk were
still present, and the grazing occultation were observable, even a visual
observer may have a chance to see the disk light directly, using the natural
occultation mask!
