I am very new to this forum, and it's going to be my first post here!
Saturn Occultation with Mineral HDR Moon from my rooftop.

Last night was unforgettable. I finally got back into rooftop astrophotography after ages, aiming to capture a mineral moon shot I hadn’t managed in 5 years. And guess what? It turned out to be a super lucky day! I got to see Saturn hiding behind the Moon in a rare occultation, and it was my first time ever capturing such an incredible shot. The whole experience was amazing, though it wasn’t without its challenges—mosquitoes everywhere made it really tough. Still, totally worth it!

Nice! But Saturn looks fake as all get out! 😊

But the fact is that the Saturn is not fake haha.
Yes, I know. Still looks like a flying saucer (or perhaps a flying teacup), though much clearer than most "flying saucer" images!
