By Tony Ireland. I threw caution to the
winds and put in my 7.4mm eyepiece so we are now looking at magnification
approaching x 172 (1400 miles above the Moon), and to my amazement it came out.
Exposure was 1/60 at F 2.9. |

There have been a number of occultations of the planets Jupiter and Saturn over the last few months, but all so far were clouded out in the Cotswolds. The last opportunity this year was on the 16th April, and luckily the sky was cloudless. Many CAS Members have witnessed this event, and this image was taken by John Fletcher, showing the Moon illuminated by Earthshine. Saturn is overexposed to capture four of its moons; Titan, Tethys, Rhea, and Dione.
