At 11:00 pm the weather was very iffy in Carmel Valley. It had drizzled a little earlier and there were large grey clouds coming. I set up the Intes half out of a sliding door to a second story deck/balcony. The eaves would protect the scope if it rained again.

Holes in the clouds allowed me to see Saturn disappear. The turbulence from the open doorway made the seeing pretty poor. So, I watched it at 51X.

By midnight it had cleared and I moved the scope out on the balcony and increased the power to 120X. Saturn emerged just off of the northern edge of Mare Crisium as Starry Night predicted. I wasn't sure the lunar surface image was that well aligned.

Duration of the occultation was 59 min. 22 sec. according to my stopwatch. I didn't get accurate start or stop times.

The emergence was quite spectacular. It is interesting to see these two objects in the same field. The difference in scale is a little surprising.

I was glad that the weather cooperated. The hills on the south side of the valley were shrouded in mists. From my point of view they looked beautiful in the moonlight, but I wouldn't wanted to have been over there trying to observe. :-)
