I was completely unprepared and had a lot of trouble operating my camera in pitch blackness, but here's tonight's lunar eclipse as seen from my backyard in southern #Saskatchewan.

Phew, the lunar occultation of Venus is not a body problem. We are all safe.

The young crescent moon occulted Mercury today...as seen from the mountains of southern New Mexico.
First photo is a telephoto shot of the moon only a minute after it uncovered our innermost planet. This was taken in bright twilight as a wind and dust storm was easing up.
Second photo is a wider angle shot ten minutes later that includes Venus in the bottom third of the frame. The evening twilight sky colors are pallid because of the dust storm clouds billowing a mile below me on the floor of the Tularosa basin.

The nature of ASASSN-24fw’s #occultation - modelling the event as dimming by optically thick rings around a substellar companion: https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/546/3/staf2251/8471205?login=false -> Unseen planet or brown dwarf may have hidden 'rare' fading star: https://ras.ac.uk/news-and-press/research-highlights/unseen-planet-or-brown-dwarf-may-have-hidden-rare-fading-star

Here our observation of stellar #occultation #Betelgeuse by asteroid (319) #Leona on 2023 Dec 12, observed from #Makroskooppi remote observatory in Fregenal de la Sierra, Spain. Occultation lasted about 7 seconds, which is less than predicted 11.6 seconds in central path. Our observatory's position was a bit north of central occultation path at N 38⁰ 13′ 10.89″ – W 6⁰ 37′ 54.32″ – 560m.

To avoid the inevitable disappointment associated with #Leona #asteroid #occultation of #Betelgeuse, I set up my own, not-so-rare, #occultation event.
The streetlamp a few hundred metres down the road is occulted by a chickpea suspended from a thread in front of an upstairs window as the camera is moved slowly sideways.
