hi Ronan,

have a look at www.go.ednet.ns.ca/~larry/planets/occltlst.htm

if you can get your hands on a copy of Joe Ashbrook's "The Astronomical Scrapbook" (published by Sky and Telescope) there is a very good chapter in it on planets occulting each other. The book is a collection of Joe's articles in the magazine (I can't remember the issue offhand that the aforementioned one appeared in).

Also, Mathematical Astronomy Morsels by Jean Meeus (Willmann Bell).

John
