This is a sequence composite of the Occultation of Aldebaran along the graze line on Saturday, March 4, 2017. The graze line is a narrow geographic region along the edge the occultation visibility zone where the Moon will just graze past Aldebaran. This will allow for views of topographic features along along the edge of the Lunar disk that are usually not visible as Aldebaran passes behind them. The graze line passed through the University of Rhode Island campus in Kingston, RI.

Occultation of the planet Saturn
Credit: Giuseppe Donatiello
A lunar occultation of the planet Saturn was visible from the Italy in the early hours of 21 August 2024.
This marked a great chance to see Saturn disappeared behind the Moon from our perspective on Earth.
A lunar occultation occurs when the Moon’s disc appears to cover a more distant object, hiding it from view.
At the time of the occultation, Saturn appeared quite edge-on to us, its northern pole tilted toward us by just 3°. Consequently, the planet’s rings appeared rather thin, something most apparent if using a smaller scope.

Qantas VH-VZO Boeing 737-838 "Bendigo" crosses the October Waxing Gibbous Moon (99.7%). Heading from Brisbane to Sydney as flight QF551.

The October late Harvest Moon for 2017 was full by early the next morning.
This is a composite sequence of the Full Moon passing in front of (occulting) Mars on the evening of January 13, 2025.
The Moon was officially Full only about four hours before the occultation, and Mars was two days before it was at opposition, and a day after it was closest to Earth since 2022. A similar coincidence of an occultation when Mars was also at opposition occured on December 7, 2022. I shot a similar sequence with the same equipment at that time.
On this night my location in southern Alberta was near the northern limit of the occultation zone, so Mars passed behind the northern limb of the Moon in a short chord. The occultation lasted only 20 minutes from my site. From only 100 km farther north Mars would have grazed across the northern edge of the Moon, and from farther north the Moon would have missed Mars.
I shot still images at 5-minute intervals before and after the occultation, then 4K movies (not used here) at the actual disappearance (ingress) and reappearance (egress) of Mars. Time runs from left to right — the first image taken at 7 pm MST is at left; the last image taken at 8:10 pm is at right.
While it looks like Mars is moving behind the Moon from left to right, it is really the Moon moving from right to left (west to east) that is creating the occultation, a motion due to its orbital revolution around Earth. But for this sequence the telescope was tracking the Moon and keeping it centred.
The "seeing" conditions were quite poor, so atmospheric turbulence blurs the disk of Mars, making its north plar cap barely visible on the sharpest images.
Technical:
This is a blend of 12 exposures, each at 1/100 second at ISO 100 with the Canon R5 on the Astro-Physics 130mm refractor with a 2X Barlow for an effective focal length of 1560mm. The Moon is from a single image taken at the end of the series, and each Mars disk is also just a single image, layered onto the lunar disk base image but with the Moon masked out to reveal just Mars. Each image is unique and taken at the stated interval — I didn't just copy and paste the same Mars image to "recreate" the sequence!
The lunar disk is processed for high contrast to bring out the subtle variations in tone and colour across its disk and in the dark lunar "mare" or lava seas.
The almost eclipsing of Mars by the moon, just after closest separation when the clouds rolled in, 07December2022.
Dec 08 2022.
When I looked out of the window early this morning around 06:30 GMT I saw what I thought was a star right next to the moon. By the time I'd set up they had separated a little. When I checked with the Stellarium app I saw it was Mars. There had been an occultation.
Voici un bel exemple des spectacles que peut nous offrir la mécanique céleste : une occultation entre Saturne et la Lune.
Depuis la Terre, une toute petite Saturne semble se rapprocher de la lune (jusqu'à disparaitre derrière), mais ce n'est la qu'un effet de perspective !
La lune distante au moment de la prise de vue de 360 000km a un diamètre de 3400km. Saturne, à l'inverse est distante d'1.3 milliards de km mais à un diamètre de 116 000km soit 47 fois la taille du disque lunaire. Ces chiffres aident à relativiser la taille apparente des deux astres sur cette image =) !
L'image est une composition de deux vidéos : une exposée pour la lune, l'autre pour Saturne (la différence de luminosité n'est pas apparente elle ^^), bien sur les échelles de taille et de distance sont respectés.
Prise de vue réalisé au C8 avec réducteur de focale, soit une focale de 1400mm avec au foyer une caméra mono Asi 178, nous avons mutualisé notre matériel avec Julien (maintenant que l'habitude est prise ^^), toutefois les conditions météos ne nous auront pas permis de l'exploiter à fond ! On repart tout de même avec un chouette souvenir !

An incredible sight in both binoculars and telescopes. This image is an HDR result of four different exposures, blended together with layers in PS to get as close as possible to the visual experience. Images with Vixen SD 115S refractor, Vixen SD flattener and Nikon Z8 camera.
The planet Venus makes first contact with the limb of the crescent moon in this photo taken during daylight and through high clouds on December 7, 2015 at 8:06AM PST.
This photo shows the peak of the conjunction and the beginning of the eclipse (occultation) of the planet Venus by the crescent moon. This event was the only occultation of the planet Venus by the moon that could be seen from the northern hemisphere during all of 2015. The last time that an occultation of Venus was visible from North America was in August 2012. The next similar event won't happen until August 1, 2019.
Image capture was done with a 5 inch aperture, f/4.2 refractor telescope and a ZWO ASI174MM camera using a Baader 7nm hydrogen alpha bandpass filter to darken the daytime sky.

Vedendo questa foto della mia macchina completamente circondata dalle pecore ho pensato che sarebbe stata proprio adatta per un pubblicità... e ho deciso di giocare un po' in fase di post produzione...
This week is a good week to watch the three planets, viz. Jupiter, Venus & Saturn in the sky. Yesterday evening was a bit more special with the fine new Moon joining the party. The Moon occulted (hid) the Jupiter for a brief period as the bright & shining Venus enviously watched the two mingle, from a distance.
Today go to a far corner on the outskirts of our city at dusk, making a note of where the sun sets
in the western sky. Be patient. Let the twilight set in. Depending upon your assets, get a binocular, telescope or a good set of eyes. Watch the bright three slowly emerge. The moon will join the party too, albeit not as slim as yesterday.
P.S.: Watch & wonder how the heavier amongst the four, appear deceptively smaller than the rest. No comparisons to any of your friends & family are to be made. B|
Happy Planet Watching
During the early hours of 8th December 2022, the almost Full Moon occulted the planet Mars.
I imaged it with a William Optics 70mm refractor, Celestron 3x Barlow, ZWO ASI120MC camera. I used my portable Skywatcher AZGTi mount because I wasn't sure if I'd get the egress from my permanent pier as there are trees in that direction. This image is a reprocess of the video showing the first part of egress; the time when Mars re-emerged from behind the Moon at 06:01 UT.
I shot a two thousand frame video and had to do two separate stacking processes on them, one for the Moon and one for Mars because they were moving so quickly relative to each other. I then processed the images in Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer. I'm slightly astounded to have captured surface features on Mars with such a small refractor, but this amazing telescope often surprises me with how versatile it is! The Celestron 3x Barlow is excellent quality too, which really helped with this.

...lo Sciamano ...
disse ad un tratto Margy.
cosa ? lo Sciamano ? la incalzò il Dr Papadakis .
poi ancora silenzio ..
dove ti trovi ora Margy ?
ho freddo .. mi trovo in un tunnel ..un luogo ..".
il Dr Papadakis con molta delicatezza prese un piccolo plaid e lo stese sopra il corpo di Margy.
ora ricordava ...
Lo Sciamano lo aveva detto !

The crescent Moon occults the bright planet Venus during daytime on September 19, 2025.
Photo taken with a Canon EOS M50 trough a Celestron C-8 (2000mm focal length, f/10).
The apparent grazing of the moon by Saturn, as seen from Johannesburg, South Africa, at 20:54UT on 2019-05-22.
This image is created from stacking the few best frames of a 30-second video capture (about 5000 frames) using the red channel only and a monochrome camera. It was post-processed in PixInsight, with combination only in Adobe Photoshop, read on for why.
A frame-decimated version of the raw video acquisition used to create this final image can be see on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRTPNEFaEyM
Stacking an event like this from video is difficult because it takes two stacking runs on the same video. The moon has much faster apparent movement through the video frame than Saturn. Saturn appears static while the moon slowly drifts. This makes getting a good final image by stabilizing first on the moon, then stacking again but stabilizing on Saturn, and combining the two using a mask in post.

The Moon passed in front of Saturn on August 21, 2024

The Moon passed in front of Saturn, creating a lunar occultation visible from Latin America, Africa and Europe. Outside the occultation belt, a close conjunction was visible.
The occultation was visible from Oria with the disappearance of Saturn behind the Moon at 3:38 UTC, although at morning twilight. Its reappearance will be visible at 4:36 UTC now in daylight.
Due to the low altitude of the Moon above the horizon, the image is not very rich in details as the light had to pass through a thick layer of strata and relative air turbulence.

On the evening of July 10, 2022, through the gaps in the clouds, I was able to make a video www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ov71FGntlI of the occultation of Delta Scorpii (Dschubba) by the Moon, from my small homeland: Yuzhno-Morskoy, Nakhodka, Russia. I used my damaged Canon EOS 60D camera, focal length 135 mm, 640x480 video mode. This photo is stacked (in RegiStax 5.1) image from 400 frames.
