Saturn : Titan shadow transit
When Saturn's rings are aligned edge-on with Earth. During this time, the orbital plane of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, is well aligned to cast its shadow over Saturn. This rare shadow transit is visible during a few brief windows every 15 years.
I was fortunate to get enough clear sky to capture this event on 19 Aug 2025. The seeing conditions were not favourable with passing clouds and wind. I could not use barlow and have to resort to prime focus but still managed to get record shot.
