Occultation of Jupiter

I didn't know that was what it was called, but it happened on Thursday night. Jupiter (the tiny dot)was seen to move behind the moon from the dark side. It reappeared on schedule about an hour later.

I tried out all sorts of combinations of settings on my camera, and this was the best result. I was pleased with it, anyway!
