Saturn occultation from Brisbane

Hi all,

Had a great view of the occultation tonight, using my little 130mm Newtonian. Spent most of the time doing visual observation, but also managed a couple of snaps through the eyepiece a few minutes before ingress and after egress (hand-holding the Canon S200 that I won at the David Malin Awards last month ).

First time I've seen a planetary occultation, and it was definitely worth it!

Cheers,
Stephen
