Last week the Moon occulted Aldebaran. I setup my Nikon D7100 on a tripod, set the intervelometer for one 1 second exposure every minute for 2 hours. I then selected 1 exposure every 5 minutes to generate a single stacked image. I also generated a time lapse movie. Due to the motion of the moon, I had to readjust the aim point. The only processing was flattening the background.

Cool technique, Roger. Event driven images allow for lots of creative shots. Nicely done.
