Details:
There was a glorious occultation of Saturn by the Moon here tonight, this is the first time that I’ve ever seen this event and it was amazing! It started at 9.19 pm with Saturn disappearing behind the dark western limb then reappearing at 10.27 pm on the eastern sunlit rim of the Moon. Watching Saturn and its magnificent rings slowly disappear into nothingness was quite unreal…and I managed to capture it all on video ☺
I tried something new this time and took HD videos instead of still images with my Canon 7D on video mode and 2x Barlow lens that was attached to my tracking Meade 8inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. This image is one of the screen captures from the video.
