Subject: [AZ-Observing] Pleiades Occultation
There is currently a nice occultation of the Pleiades by the Third Quarter
moon in progress. The humidity is at monsoon levels in Arizona, adding a
bit of undesirable haze to the scene, but it's clear. Here is a grab with
my Canon 20D through a TV101. 1/2 second at ISO 200 showed the Earthshine
and stars best, but unfortunately also showed the haze.

The moon is moving roughly right to left in this scene. Electra has just
emerged, and Alcyone is about to be covered.
