Asteroid... and eclipse from S.A.

While setting up last night, Stellarium gave us a heads up of the asteroid Fides occultation by the eclipsed moon during totality.

We had wispy low level cloud drifting through occasionally but it added nicely to the atmosphere.

So just to be different, here's a pic of Fides next to the eclipsed moon prior to occultation, taken with ED80 and 1100d.
