WHAT'S BEHIND CLOUDS
What's Behind the Clouds - Moon Venus Occultation
This is a new section added to OtisAstro Imaging titled, "What's Behind the Clouds!"
With so much rain and overcast skies these days and nights, I decided to run a planetarium app on the iPhone and see what's being missed. What wondrous future celestial event was found? I could not believe my eyes. This is one rare event I would not want to miss. Here's a spectacular occultation of Venus by the Moon! Only a couple days away from today, it will take place Friday, May 27, 2022 at around 11:55am.
For more information and images see Celestron's Sky Portal app. The suggestion to those who have a clear sky or can shoot images through holes in clouds, a red filter will help darken the sky for better contrast.
