    Ich bin auf den Gipfel des berühmten Vulkans Mauna Kea auf Hawaii gereist, um den Moment festzuhalten, als Saturn hinter den Mond rutschte. Dies habe ich mit einem 14-Zoll-Teleskop aufgenommen, das ich mir auf der Insel geliehen hatte.

      This photo required traveling to Hawaii due to the local nature of these occultation events. It was actually visible from my backyard, but so low on the horizon it would have been extremely distorted from atmosphere. Going to the top of Mauna Kea was also guaranteed good weather, as it put me above the clouds. Instead I was fighting the health concerns being with less oxygen while setting up the heavy equipment. As a result I came back with the flu but I think it was worth it.

      [I just posted a video of the behind the scenes, including how this looked in real time through the telescope here](https://www.instagram.com/cosmic_background/?hl=en)

      First thought: this person went to space!

      Second thought: the moon looks wild!

      I love how Saturn appears like it’s almost shy, like “hey y’all, how’s everyone doing over there?”

      Amazing shot, honestly beautiful

      Fantastic photo, it almost looks like you were orbiting the moon.

      Awesome shot. I absolutely love space shots and my 9 year old kid is space mad as well. He knows far more than me about space at this stage.

      Wow Stunning Capture!! The clarity of Saturn’s ring is breathtaking ✨

    6. StrayCarrots on

      That is an absolutely amazing shot, I kinda hope you submit that to a magazine or something

      Wow the moon pics just keep getting better today. Amazing. 👏🏼👌🏼

      Where is the high res, multi megapixel file we can use for a wall paper??

      Amazing!! Could you explain why it requires to go to that specific volcano to get this shot?

      Wow, that’s awesome. Can not believe that Saturn is visible so perfectly, nearly unreal.

      Considering the distance between those two. It is really incredible the how large Saturn is.

      Incredible image! Didn’t know such clear Saturn pics were availbe

      What we are able to see compared to 50 years ago is astounding. We made so much progress and yet we take many steps backward due to greed, religion, desire to capture power and remain in power. Man, looking at this picture, I hope the future for humanity is as bright as both the moon and the Saturn. Not holding my breath, though.

      Looks like the exposure was long enough for it do a full-ish half revolution. pretty cool

      Nice photo, but why does the Moon have all those colours when it’s gray in reality

    21. spacemonkeykakarot on

      Beautiful shot. What is the bright light blue orb on the moon, to the bottom right of where saturn is?

    22. Highspdfailure on

      Amazing photo. What brand of telescope 🔭 did you use? I’m slowly getting into this hobby of astronomy.

    25. broadenandbuild on

      Hey serious question, when you’re up there looking through the telescope, are you able to survey the moon and look at various parts of it with the same level of detail as you’re seeing on that photo? This would be awesome, I would spend hours looking for alien stuff and anomalies if that were possible lol

      As impressive as the image is the forethought and planning — and expense! — of getting yourself in the right place, at the right time, to get it. Photography is footwork. Frame that beauty!
