A relatively unfrequent event is a planetary occultation by the Moon, in this case of Jupiter. The sky was cloudy so I couldn't image when Jupiter went behind the Moon, but it cleared and was able to see it exiting. Seeing conditions were far from optimal as it was during daytime and relatively close to the sun (the Moon is only 1.47 days old), however worth imaging as an special event.
