Antares Occulation

Just looking through old pics and come across this from last year.
Antares and look harder there to see the limb of the moon.
I only had a breif period to grab a rush shot before visually observing and timing the grazing occulation.
So the camera was held to the eyepiece the old fashioned way.
All this was 8 degrees above the horizon.
I hope that if you look hard enough there that you will see the dark limb of the moon.

1st ever post in this section........Cheers Kev.
