Saturn Occultation - 4th August 2014 @5m focal length

Hi All,

Here are the links to my captures for Disappearance around 9:20pm and re-appearance around 10:13pm from Sydney.

Used a ZWO ASI 120MC webcam and 5 x powermate on the 200mm Newtonian reflector on the HEQ5 Pro.

Videos straight from the camera but simply downsized from 1280x960 to a more manageable 640x480 for upload.

Disappearance: You can see the moon Mimas? disappear with a pop after the rings vanish....

Re-appearance: I was adjusting the exposure to show the moon surface at one point to show the contrast between the two.

A couple of screen grabs below as a teaser.

Two occultations in the same year - inconceivable!!!!


Cheers

Chris
