Last week the Moon passed in front of (occulted) Saturn. This week I got around making an image from it.
70D at prime focus of a Meade 8" SCT (2000mm f/10) at 1/250 @ ISO400 about 4-6 minutes apart (in between clouds).

I was pleasantly suprised too, especially since the source images were jpegs. "Treat every photon with respect" - David Malin.
