Aldebaran Occultation (Sept. 12, 2017).jpg
The waning gibbous Moon approaches the star Aldebaran at an occultation on the morning of September 12, 2017. This is a multiple exposure composite of the ingress phase that occurred before sunrise, with the Moon from the final exposure and the star from exposures taken at 4-minute intervals prior to that last exposure. For the actual ingress I switched to HD movie to shoot a video of the event.
Exit at egress occurred after sunrise in a bright sky.
Shot from home with the 130mm Astro-Physics apo refractor with the Canon 60Da.
