It looks like the next occultation of Venus is not going to be for some time; <a href="http://www.popastro.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10777&start=30&sid=6a980c0d40a512280ae1ae4786f71042" rel="nofollow">sources</a> believe the next Venus occultation to be on 6th April 2016, then 19th June 2020, then 10th January 2032. I've not checked these dates out myself though. There are free software applications <a href="http://low4.doa-site.nl/" rel="nofollow">LOW</a>, <a href="http://www.lunar-occultations.com/iota/occult4.htm" rel="nofollow">OCCULT</a>, and <a href="http://www.hristopavlov.net/OccultWatcher/OccultWatcher.html" rel="nofollow">Occult Watcher </a>that you can use to build up your own schedule of occultations; again I've not had time at the moment to use these so can't personally vouch for there quality. Not sure where in the UK you are based but <a href="http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/~ipswich/Occultations/Occ_Best.htm" rel="nofollow">here </a> is a schedule for occultations visible from East Anglia. Steve Hi Robert and thanks for your question.

There are free software applications LOW, OCCULT, and Occult Watcher that you can use to build up your own schedule of occultations; again I’ve not had time at the moment to use these so can’t personally vouch for there quality.

Not sure where in the UK you are based but here is a schedule for occultations visible from East Anglia.

Is there any person or organization that e-mails lists of up-coming astronomical events? Kindest regards, Robert.
