Click on the image for a higher-resolution version. Regulus, the brightest star in the constellaton Leo, is near the ecliptic, so it is occasionally occulted by the Moon. This image was taken a few minutes after it reappeared from behind the "dark" portion of the Moon, which is made visible by earthshine. Equipment:
Celestron 102-ED/Great Polaris mount/Nikon D70
