Moon / Pleiades occultation - just afterwards!

This is a four (?) second exposure with a DSLR on a tripod taken from Canberra last night.

I zoomed out a bit to get the horizon in.

Cheers,

Paul Floyd.

Nice work Paul! Shame about the internal reflection. If you take off the UV/IR blocking filter, it'll usually go away.

Thanks.

Will try removing the filter and doing a test shot tonight. I had assumed that it was a problem with the lens. Didn't even think about the filter.

Cheers,

Paul Floyd.
