At this place, I want to say Thanks to Andreas Heidl
leaving me for this evening his 3ccd video camera. Working
together with a large expenditure of time into the morning
hours the implementation of the pictures and the 3rd clip
were enabled. Further thanks to Martin Rietze. With his
know-how in astronomical observations and a lot of patience
the Gifs 1 and 2 were created by him
A planet disappeared
Entrance
of Saturn (
Magnified apprx. 240 x )
On the 3rd of November 2001 the moon in the constellation
Taurus covered the Saturn. This seldom process of the celestial
mechanics started in Fuerstenfeldbruck around 22.00 h. Already
with the naked eye astro observers could saw the bright edge of
the crater furrowed moon coming slowly nearer to the
little resplendent lightspot. More impressively the whole
was shown in a telescope. We tried to film this event too, and
it was working perfectly because of the phaenomenal calm
atmosphere and best weather conditions. The Saturn needs 90
seconds for the entrance to disappear behind the moon disk
completely

About one hour later the ring surrounded planet was coming out
of the dark zone of the moon and terminated this
delightful process of celestial mechanics.
