Observed occultation of Saturn by Moon.
Through C8 with 20mm eyepiece and 7x50 binoculars and 200 mm lens on 70D.
Saturn ring, then disk disappearing behind dark side of Moon, took about 1m.
After reappearance Saturn just above brightly lit surface.
Looked good through scope.
Photos a fail because Saturn underexposed and focus not quite right.
Weather really clear and warm conditions (23 degrees).
Saturn band visible and rings clear, including Cassini Division.
Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury also f=visible in SW.
