Recordings - The planet Saturn

Saturn is the second largest after Jupiter planet of the solar system. At the same time it is because of its distinctive ring system for many observers simply beautiful to look at. While when observing Saturn, the position of its moons is constantly changing, At first glance, nothing seems to be happening with the rings. Yet it is not so. About every 15 years one sees clearly from the earth on the edge of the rings. Through a smaller telescope they are then no longer to be seen. Since I've been going back and forth since 2003 photographed Saturn, you can see this development with the pictures comprehend:

Venus-Mond

Moon occultation of Saturn.
At 21:19 CEST the Moon moved in front of Saturn and around 21:27 Saturn reappeared from behind the Moon. Unfortunately I didn't have the technology under control at this moment of all times, so this is the only picture of the event.
