About this image

Trees, clouds and telescope trying to locate Uranus and Moon in the “green forbidden danger zone!”, meant I was unable to capture the disappearance of Uranus behind the Moon last night’. Did capture the reappearance though, which can be seen in this short animated sequence of 30 x 5s exposures through 20” Connaught telescope at 22:18:21h
