Interesting Occultations

Hi guide users.
I found some interesting occultations using Guide8.

1) Saturn's satellite "Titan" occult 12.2 mag star

On 28 Jan 19:22 (UT) , 8-mag Saturn's satellite "Titan" occult
GSC1879-2241 in Gem.
Shadow lines Europe - India - EastSouth Asia.

2) Jupiter's satellite "Taygete" occult 12.2 mag star

On 6 Mar 12:30 (UT) , 22-mag Jupiter's satellite "Taygete" occult
GSC0269-0614 in Leo.
Shadow lines China - Japan - Hawaii.
If it happen, the star disappear during 1 sec.

I don't know how accurate Guide's satellites positions are.
But I think these are interesting event to observe.
