Moon Mars Occulation Animation

[Nicola Hannah Butterfield]

I did this with my SW200P and Canon 40D 25 frames 10's apart, so just over 4 mins, quite a bit of cloud, by the time Mars reappeared the moon was below the Shed roof, and guess what it was clear.

Thanks, I could have used any of the images for the single one, but thought just that little gap works.

I am a little disappointed with the quality of the moon, but it wasn't the best in terms of cloud, but I was fortunate to actually get to see and record the event.

I think it was a difficult night for almost everyone in the UK, but it is still good to see that so many people got to experience the event, even if it was a case of cloud dodging for a lot of the time.
