Details:
This evening I was shooting a few video clips of the Moon because of the nice lighting on lunar craters, and I saw there was a rather bright star very close to the Moon. I quickly realized that this was had to be Aldebaran and that there had been a lunar occultation just earlier but darn I missed it ( it actually happened at dusk ) .
note about exif data : time of the photo is in U.T. so local time in Switzerland was one hour later, 19H19 , not 18h19. Also, it says aperture f/5.6 but it is in fact f/6.3 as this Tamron lens opens max to 6.3 but camera does not read 6.3 aperture.
The first image is a crop from a larger image (original 24MP ) . Original shot with Canon EOS 80D on Tamron 150-600 G2 at 600mm, f/6.3, ISO 400, shutter speed 1/350 sec.
