Lunar Occultation of Mars
Johnny Scarborough

Attached is a single image of the Moon and Mars in close proximity. I captured the beginning on video, however the clouds moved in, blanketing the area. The image was captured by a Canon 700d, Meade LX200 10", CEM70 mount and BYEOS software. CDC and iOptron Command controlled the mount. All was done from my observatory at home.

That’s a good shot. I just watched it with binoculars disappearing behind the moon and reappearing. Clouds got in the way for a while.

Excellent Work. Wish you could have avoided the cloud's but that's how it sometimes go.
