Description

Simulated occultation of Saturn by the Moon in M44 (the Beehive) with Jupiter in the same field.

This event did not occur, but if it had, the view would look something like this photo.

M44 was a mosaic using an ES ED80CF at f/6 and a Canon EOS Rebel T5 (APS-C).

The moon was a mosaic from 64 panels and reduced to scale to fit in the Beehive cluster, taken with the GSO 12" f/8 RC at 2438mm FL and a ZWO ASI120MC-S camera. This mosaic was pieces from 115,200 images using the best 5760 frames.

Both Jupiter and Saturn were taken with the GSO 12" f/8 RC at 2438mm and a ZWO ASI120MC-S camera.
