Delta Sco as a Voyager occultation experiment

   I recently noticed that delta Sco was used when Voyager made an occultation
experiment on the Saturn's ring.  I wonder whether its Be-star nature could
have affected the interpretation of the experiment.

# I remember Algol was used on other occasion.  Is there any reason why
# variable stars were preferred in such experiments?
