Saturn Occultation - Old Video

« on: August 02, 2008, 06:58:28 pm »

Thought this might be an interesting one - this is my webcam video from 22nd May 2007 showing the re-emergence of Saturn from behind the Moon. Unfortunately the YouTube compression has lost a lot - the original shows more detail and greater contrast on Saturn. This is 4x speed.

It's great that you have captured this event on the video, Paul!

I hope it looks better without YouTube compression. I have also seen this event in May 2007, but only visually
