Before and After: Antares and the Moon

LPOD-2005-03-05.jpeg

Image Credit: John Chumack


Before and After: Antares and the Moon

John writes, I took this image of the lunar occultation of Antares Wednesday morning practically in daylight. It is a 2 image composite of both the disappearance and reappearance of the bright star Antares (Alpha Scorpii). Clouds moved in just before disappearance, but cleared again and I was able to actually watch the reappearance. Antares’ golden orange color stood out, even in the daylight. The event ended just in time for me to closeup the observatory, take the kids to school and for me to get to work! A busy morning!
