I'm a long-time user of Guide, using it almost exclusively as a deep sky atlas. Now I'd like to understand the accuracy of Guide as it relates to the upcoming occultation of Venus by the Moon on 22 April. My home location of Worthington, Ohio (a suburb of Columbus in central Ohio) appears to be outside the occultation zone according to the map in April's S&T. This is reinforced by the chart of local circumstances I found on IOTA's website (http://www.lunar-occultations.com/iota/planets/0422venus.htm), where Columbus is not listed but other cities in the state are listed. However at the prompting of one of my observing buddies, I fired up Guide to see how close the Moon would come to Venus. Using Guide's default coordinates for Worthington, OH when I set the date to 22 April and the time to 1310 UT Guide shows a partial (grazing?) occultation. I uploaded a screen print of this into the Miscellaneous photo file. It looks to be a very interesting view from here - with one end of the crescent Moon cutting the crescent of Venus in half.

So back to the reason of my posting. Is Guide accurate enough to represent how this occultation will look from my location?
