Video Of Aldebaran Occultation By The Moon

Hope you were able to see the occultation of Aldebaran by the Moon last night. It was clear here but the temperatures were in the low teens and the wind was gusting around 30mph. So it was COLD! I had to set up the telescope on the hood of a car, and with the wind gusting like it was, it was not very stable. In addition, I had to overexpose the Moon in order to capture Aldebaran. But here is a quick video of the moment of occultation, with Aldebaran at the bottom right of the Moon. It was too cold and too windy to capture the star’s re-emergence.
