No, I put the luanr occultation picture up in a hurry.  It was
actually at prime focus with the Orion 127mm Mak-Cas.  I have several
other shots I took, including a series of 4 about 30 seconds later
that actually show Eta Leonis merging with the lunar limb; but since
I was really just trying to bracket my shots, they are overexposed for
the moon itself.  I may try to put them all together as a sequence as
soon as I get the time.

Thanks!
