Before the occultation, with the moon edging toward the star Aldebaran on the sky’s dome. Jairo Vrolijk in Aruba wrote: “New in the field of astrophotography, here is my first shot at a pre-occulatation between the Moon and star Aldebaran.”
This photo comes closer to showing what the eye would have seen: a bright moon with a bright star in its glare. Aniruddha Bhat in Maryland wrote: “It was fun to watch Moon occult Aldebaran last night. The star was clearly visible next to a bright moon when this shot was take around 7 p.m. when they were very close. Moon is overexposed due to brightness difference. After an two hours, Aldebaran was gone behind the moon.”
Just before the moon swept in front of Aldebaran, Hector Barrios in Hermosillo, Mexico, caught this photo. Thank you, Hector!
Eliot Herman in Tucson, Arizona wrote: “The photos were taken through hazy and sometimes thicker clouds that rolled in just before the occultation. The photos were taken with a Questar Q3.5 and a Nikon D810 mounted on an iOptron Alt AZ mount. This photo is 5 images of 0.7 stops variation stacked and processed. After a bit of computer crunching and and finishing up with photoshop Aldebaran shows well against the lit part of the moon.”
