The occultation ingress was observed by Hubbard et al. from Kitt Peak, and showed very tentative evidence for pre-occultation fading of the starlight, perhaps due to an atmosphere.
Results from both groups were presented at the 1996 DPS meeting (Hubbard et al. and Wasserman et al.)
The event will be almost central as seen from Hawaii, and will be observable in morning twilight, low in the West, from the western US, and shortly after sunset, low in the East, from the Phillipines and southern and central Japan.
We expect a sharp occultation due to Europa's apparent lack of a significant atmosphere, but observations of the immersion and emersion with a time resolution of a second or better are useful just in case of a temporary atmosphere produced by endogenic activity, or other serendipitous possibilities.
