Lunar Occultation of Jupiter and satellites

 This was the setting

The weather co-operated - clear cold calm.

 

 And no "Moose" -

 

 The "dark" part of the Moon is illuminated by a nearly "full" Earth. The image is over exposed.

Possible better:

 

 Sorry about the multiple exposures in the image above. The satellites are between the double red bars or to the left of the single bars.

 

I managed to see the temperate belts, North and South, too:

 And then the hour-long wait -

 And the excitement - still clear and calm, and forget the cold in the excitement:

 Steady, boy!

 Theory meets practice - all is well in astronomy.

And peace and good will to the homo sapiens and the homo saps on Mother Earth, aka Turtle Island.
