Moon and Jupiter July 15, 2012 Telescope pictures with Nikon D80

On July 15, 2012  in the morning, there was an occultation. The Moon occulted Jupiter at 04:30. I took some photos through the 8" telescope, and Nikon D80 DSLR, coupled with the ring T. The photos are close to the occultation of the two bodies.

 The  most important moment was shot in video, which will be posted in the next article today. There were some moderate clouds at the time. After the occultation, the sky was covered much more by clouds.
