Details:
On this day the occultation of Saturn by the Moon could be observed from large area of South Africa; Johannesburg wasn't within the area of visibility, but conjunction was just as spectacular and there was enough time to use various techniques and equipment for imaging as Saturn appeared to be gliding past the Moon.
A close-up image, produced from a video, resembles majestic view through an 8" f/10 telescope with 6 mm eyepiece.
This image is a result of stacking of 320 frames in Registax and adjusted for contrast and colour. Acquired with EOS-550D camera and 8" telescope at f/10.
