The image of the Pleiades was taken prior to the occultation as a long exposure is required to record the nebulosity surrounding the stars. This would not be possible in a moonlit sky. The image of the moon was taken at the time of the occultation and then superimposed on the image of the Pleiades. The moon was imaged using the ST-2000XM CCD camera at f/8.2 on the Meade 10" RCX400. It is a mosaic of 6 images, each 1/1000th of a second through a red filter at 2x2 binning Equipment Used for Image of Pleiades
