Here are 3 images taken of Saturn, about 30 seconds apart, as it was occulted by the Moon, which occurred at 22:01 (accuracy of watch not guaranteed!) Taken on a Casio QV3500 Digicam: ISO 100; 0.4sec exposure at f2; using 12x digital zoom (probably not ideal, but it gave me some pleasing results!) - next time I really must cut down on the shutter speed even more...
Here is a sequence of 5 photos, which have been image-processed to try and lessen the Moon's glare, and to highlight the Earthshine that was so obvious.
Finally, a video clip made from the above 5 images, to give a hint of what the occultation looked like in real time (although this will of course depend on the processor speed of your system!)
