Prediction was talking about 100% probability but weather was not stable. I found the target star approximately 1 hour before the occulation time. I was observing the target start from my chalet using remote desktop but video stooped suddenly. It was only about 5 minutes before occultation. 'Hurry, hurry!' - these words were in my head. I managed to restart recording software just in time. I was lucky and happy as well.
