Hi.
Yesterday (October 31st) I went to see interesting occultation. The star Xi Sagittarii was to be obscured by the Moon. Unfortunately, five minutes before the occultation the clouds came. What a bad luck.
So I have only a sketch of the Moon and Xi Sgr in short distance from each other 🙁

Well, I would not call that a bad luck, Aleksander!
You have made a terrific sketch out of the situation to my point of view. Very beautiful with the clouds in the scene.
Thanks for sharing.

Aleksander,
Very fine atmospheric view of the last quarter Moon with earthshine.
You may have missed the main event but you captured a awesome view.
Frank 🙂
Thank You gentlemen!
Maybe next time the clouds will be more gracious 🙂
