Hi All,

I finished editing the Moon/Saturn occultation video and it is up on Vimeo:

There was high thin cloud that spoiled the contrast somewhat and the seeing was pretty average.

I shot RAW for both stills and video and worked out that I can overexpose the Moon by 2 f/stops and do a bit of tone mapping to get features on both Moon and Saturn.

Done with two telescopes:
1) Full disk of the Moon with Stellarvue SVT80 f/6 + 2x teleconverter, Sony NEX5N 1 FPS shooting, 50x real speed playback
2) 22" SDM f/3.6 with Canon 6D in 5x crop RAW video mode (Magic Lantern). 12.5 FPS video recording, 8x real speed playback

A video frame is attached (downsized from 1920x1080 to fit into 250KB limit)

Cheers,
Alex
