22 Feb 2014 Saturn occultation from the doghouse

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.

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...

Cheers

Chris

Looks like a few people were plagued with clouds this morning. Hopefully the next one stays clear....

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.

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

Mark the photos have been Photoshoped, no sane person has that many scopes on a mount.

Good work Sir Hough, at least you got to image it !
