Date :

Universal Time (UT). UT is effectively equivalent to Greenwich Mean Time. In New Zealand, add 12 hours to UT to get NZ Standard Time, or add 13 hours to get NZ Daylight Time.

ZC :

Star number in Robertson's Zodiacal Catalog, unless shown as S or X.

Mag :

Star Magnitude.

Ev :

Event, either a Disappearance of the star behind the edge of the Moon, or a Reappearance of the star from behind the lunar limb. All events listed with a positive cusp angle take place at the dark limb. All events listed with a negative cusp angle take place at the bright limb (only the brightest stars or planets will be shown for bright limb events). Disappearances occur before Full Moon when the Moon's eastern limb is dark. Reappearances occur after Full Moon when the Moon's western limb is dark.

%lit :

Percentage of the moon illuminated; "+" indicates waxing and "-" waning. E indicates a lunar eclipse.

Auck/Well/Chch/Dudn :

Time of the occultation at Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin, expressed in hours and decimal minutes of Universal Time. Because the actual time of an event depends very much on the observer's physical location, times given are approximate and may vary by a minute or two across a distance of several tens of kilometres. "No Event" indicates that no occultation will be visible from that site. "Graze" indicates that there is a grazing occultation close to the position and occultation times will vary dramatically over small distances or may not happen at all. Green text indicates that the event occurs at an altitude less than 15 degrees. Red text indicates that the event occurs with the sun less than 10 degrees below the horizon. Magenta indicates that both conditions are current. 

CA :

Cusp Angle, or angle around the moon's limb at which the occultation occurs. This is measured from the Northern or Southern cusp of the Moon in the direction of the unlit part of the Moon.

Notes :

For a double or triple star, the magnitudes of the components and the separation in seconds of arc.
For a variable star, the magnitudes between which the star varies.
