Default ASTRO: Titan's Shadow Transit - rare event

Looks good to me. Even in my 10" f/8 50's era Cave it isn't an easy
naked eye target except for instants of better than average seeing and
then only every 15 or so years. Don't think I've even tried for it
since the ring crossing in the 60's. With film I never hit the seeing
needed so it was only a visual target. Web cams were in short supply
back then!

I wish the seeing were better but you get what you can I guess.

C8 at f/46, Phillips ToUCam.
