Hi all,

Here is a quick timelapse of the Occultation of Uranus by the moon.

Bit a a bad wobble caused by the worm drive on the equatorial mount. I didn't have Periodic error correction enabled... So if you get sea sick easily, don't blame me....blame it on the Moon 

8" f/4, 2x Barlow, Canon 1100D

Very cool. Glad to see there were some clear skies somewhere in Oz... just not here.

Was a little touch and go, there was high cloud moving in, luckily only grazed the moon a little.

Well done Andrew. Had no idea it was happening.

Enjoyed watching. Up early but clouded out here, south of Hobart.
Thanks

I only found out because someone (Suzy?) posted a link on the IIS Facebook page!

Well shot! My wife and I had a great time watching it all unfold!

Me neither, and not a wobble bonanza either, pretty good drift of the moon.
Nice one Andrew.
