12/8/19 Lunar Occultation of Saturn

[kkara4]

This was quite a difficult composite to put together - the fully lit side of the moon where Saturn egressed was sprinkled with some very high contrast areas leading to some highlights inevitably being blown, which I tried to control the best I could in processing - didn't want to get too crazy with photoshop if I could help it aside from the basics.

All in all very happy with how this turned out! Enjoy the flyover!

Fabulous! Love the colours in particular.

That is really well processed, a grand distance contrast with good detail in both.

Very impressive. Like Saturn rise from an orbiter.
