That is a beautiful shot. Congratulations on AAPOD! It reminds me of the Venus occultation of 4-22-09, which is the only planetary occultation I’ve witnessed so far (unfortunately I didn’t have my camera yet then). Do you know of a good site with info about upcoming occultations within a few years ahead? By the way, on your link to my site it’s linked to a comment rather than to the main astrophotography page. But thanks again for honoring me with the link!

Thank you! 🙂 We were lucky that the sky cleared up that night.
This is the link which I know has a catalog of planetary transits and occultations (by the moon). You may want to check it out.
By the way, I already edited the link to your site. Thanks for reminding!
Clear skies!
