Saturn occulted through cloud

About this image

Unfortunately for me as Saturn approached the Moon so did increasing cloud, going from thin cloud at the start to some bouts near the time of occultaiton when neither Saturn nor the Moon could be seen. It thinned just enough for a couple of videos and this is a very short stack of just trhree frames from the video closest to the point of occultation and seen through hazy cloud throughout.
