Close encounter

[MikeD]

No Occultation of the planet for me, but the tip of the rings did scuff.

At this image scale the movement of the moon in relation to Saturn was a problem even at 30 sec's

Original and composite.

Excellent result Mike. Somehow I don't think a fully occulted Saturn would have looked as good

[MikeD]

This is not very natural looking.

Added a shot of saturn from just before the occultation.

Nice pictures Mike. You must ahve been on the same 'occultation line' as me, the most I got was a graze of the rings.
