Lunar occultation of Saturn - 03 November 2001

03 Nov 2001, 21:06 UT - C8 at f/10 - Vesta Pro webcam - single frames
I was lucky to get these shots as it was mostly cloudy. The Moon was badly placed just over the roof tiles of the neighbour's house resulting in terrible seeing. I managed to see the reappearance of Saturn visually in a very small gap in the clouds.
