Saturn Occultaion, so close, but so far....

Hi all,

Saturn went behind the Moon this morning, did you catch it? Very difficult conditions, not only was it daylight, but we had terrible cloud and only a couple of breaks.. It was quite difficult focusing etc with the heat coming off the shed though. I was able to capture this though, about a few minutes before it hid from view.

Taken with a Philips 900NC and 8" F/4 Newt.
