The Moon occultation Venus, Wednesday morning 4-22-2009
Wed, 04/22/2009 - 20:57 — bseiler
I woke at 4:30AM, jumped into car and raced outback of Fort Ord to watch the
Moon/Venus occultation. Got setup about the time Venus was covered up by the moon. At
5:30AM the fog rolled in. No more moon! I put everything in the car and headed east on
Reservation road fast. Just past Route 68 pulled over in small neighborhood at 5:50AM. Got
setup with webcam and caught rough view of Venus coming out from behind moon. See attached file.
Afterword I paned over to Jupiter and took an over exposed shot. Got 4 moons of
Jupiter. Also attached.
