Aldebaran emerging

Enjoyed watching Aldebaran emerge from behind the moon this morning.

You can just see it in this pic taken using my phone and a pair of binoculars.

Glad you got to see it Mark, no chance here.

There's another good opportunity on the evening of 29th Oct as I posted elsewhere. Hope the skies play ball!

"Aldebran" - I thought it must be a new type of breakfast cereal. ;-)

It is amazing watching the moon move against the stars isn't it? It makes the celestial mechanics real instead of just conceptual. I always feel the same about watching the phases of Venus as it moves first further from and closer to the sun as the weeks go by.

Clever stuff with just a phone and  binoculars!

Hope you don't mind my doing a quick tweek in photoshop just to clear up the image a little.

Was looking forward to this occultation, but clouded out as usual this unmet.
