Hi,

80mm Vixen refractor on Vixen GP mount. Imaging source DBK camera at prime focus. Stellarium was very useful in choosing the area to set the camera on.

regards,

Terrific image & video Richard!
I missed the occultation nor have I seen one yet, so I got a big kick out of watching the video- playing it over and over again. :lol:
I've popped both on the IIS fb page HERE (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151599372396203&set=a.443095681202.235512.114571796 202&type=1&theater)- it's gotten a fair bit of attention.:)
