Incredible footage of Saturn rising from behind the Moon during a lunar occultation, captured from a ground based telescope by astronomer Jan Koet.







Saturnus May 22 2007 reappears after occultation by the Moon. Video was made by a18cm Astro Physics 180EDT, aMeade 5000 3x Barlow and aToUcam2. Some afterprocessing was done, to push the brightness of the faint Saturn to match that of the Moon. The video passes twice as fast as it was in reality.
