This was one and half month ago, but worths to be shared.

Saturn occultating 10th magnitude star HD 358643 (TYC 6349-0492-1).

 

An over exposed GIF showing 96 minutes (65 frames) and we can see Rhea (above) and Tethys (below) moving. The star passing behind the rings.

Animation begins with the star coming out at left side between the planet and the rings.

This image is a maximum stacking combination,showing all the signal captured from moons Rhea and Tethys and also the star TYC6349-0492-1 (behind the rings). Total of 96 minutes, from 02:32h to 04:08h UT (65 frames).

 

 

Sixteen frames selected manually and resized to perform a better visualization of event.

Those are fine work.

Can you tell me what you did to produce the maximum stacking combination please. Impressed to see the satellite motions.

Very cool! Great detail in the final image too.

Thank you, friend.

I did with Pixinsight. Using the process ImageIntegration.  There you can choose between average, minimum, median or maximum signal from input files.

This is the first time i use that for planetary image. Very useful.
