Spica occultation

Taken at 6:12:36 hrs EDST this morning (about 10 minutes after sunrise) - in a sequence of frames at 15 second intervals. D7000 1/800th sec ISO 200 TV 127. Spica is at approx. 4 o'clock position.

7.95 oktas of cloud precluded any proper look at Spica's reappearance, but I did capture it probably shortly afterwards in a brief thinning of cloud.

My first look at an occultation...
