Grazing occultation of Saturn by the Moon!

The occultation of Saturn of May 31: genuine, as it appeared at the telescope. No photomontage, no AI!Clouds gradually invading South and West of Argentina, I decided to install the C8 in North-East, close to Uruguay and Brazil borders.
The atmospheric turbulence was substantial but at least the sky was clear to show Saturn partly disappearing behind the dark part of the Moon ("grazing occultation").
Saturn looks tiny, in reality it's much bigger than the Moon...but 4000 times farther!
