bugger that ruddy cloud. anyway here is my poor old effort. i am sure someone got a decent shot somewhere? the hardest part was it being daylight and the level of brightness of both objects and the surrounding sky. yes in other words its rubbish
i will order the images so you can make a pseudo animation by scrolling through the images.
and this was the view, the clouds parted but then snuck back over the moon right on the crossing time.. as you can see it was taken with a ed80 and a dmk51

Umm, Dave?
Where is Saturn???
I set up too but for the life of me couldnt get the camera to see anything when the moon was clear and then when I finally got some images out and focus sorted, bleeding clouds all over it. Oh well, will try the night ones later this year...

i was hoping you would go find and seek, but it is down around 3 to 4 o'clock position
Ahhhh, OK, thanks, I was viewing this on the ipad outside and couldnt see it for the life of me, now I am inside and you pointed it out, I can see it now.
Nice one, much better than my pictures, of which there is none,
Very nice, detail of Moon is very good. No surprise Saturn is faint as it is much further away from the Sun so its surface brightness is a fraction of the Moon's.

Just curious. The sky in my pics was blue and you can hardly see saturn , how do you get a black sky in the daytime shots?
well its magic - the DMK51 is of course mono - then in the histogram you then slide the black end towards the bottom of the "mountain" from left to right - its dark
