This was a fun exercise this morning. Cold (40F) and clear sky. Before and After images attached, taken with 4" reflector at 80x. Location approximately 43N 78W. Phone camera was handheld over eyepiece, so there is plenty of vignetting and some hand motion blur. Times are EDT (GMT - 4). Time precision limited by fumbling with flashlite to read watch.
Times of occlusion:
1st moon 04:20:20
2nd moon 04:22:25
3rd moon 04:22:50
Near edge 04:24:51
Far edge 04:26:03
4th moon 04:27:22
Time of emergence:
1st moon 05:18:35
2nd moon 05:20:37
3rd moon 05:21:50
Near edge 05:23:15
Far edge 05:24:25
4th moon 05:25:45
