On December 7, 2015, a daytime occultation of Venus by the Moon was visible from most of North and Central America. I observed from my office parking lot at lunchtime using IS binoculars, but member Robert Vanderbei created a video from stills he shot during the event with his R-C scope. Check it out on Bob’s website.
