Tim Printy's Astronomy journal

For over 30 years, I wanted to see a Pleiades occultation. It always seemed to be cloudy or I was away at sea.  In the past two years, I have seen three! Tonight was pretty good and the moon skirted the edge of the cluster. I plan on going through all 100 images tomorrow but here are a few images I took for starters:

This image was taken just before Maia disappeared.  The photograph was taken using a Nikon D70 set at ISO 800 through my 8" F5 reflector. Exposure time was 2 seconds.

This was taken before moonset. Exposure time was 8 seconds.
