    Captured from my back yard in Northern Colorado. The occultation occurred in a rather bright dawn sky, so there was not as much contrast as I would have hoped. Thank you, Stellarium sw, for a perfect prediction of the contact position and timing.

    Look closely for the South Equatorial Belt, the S/N ratio isn't exactly high 😉:

    It looks like that you might be deleting the attached images in your post after having inserted them.

    For images uploaded from your computer you need to leave the attached image files in the post for the images to be visible otherwise the link to them which is created after inserting the image breaks.

    Thank you doctor and D.L.F. for the valuable feedback. I've now repaired my original posting and I took the opportunity to post a further edit of the first image.

    I think we have a bug report!
    I saw the posting as I intended on both my PC and my phone (which does not hold a copy of the source image, so we know that the forum is drawing from it's copy of the file) even though you couldn't. What I see in the posting shouldn't differ from what others can; my best available evidence was that I was successful. The Edit window even shows the link to the uploaded image:

    And indeed what I did was to click on the "X" after having clicked on the shadowed square. My reasoning was that seeing both the gobbledegook string and the little rectangle with the buttons appeared to be redundant links to the image. Now I know to not click the "X". Thanks so much for my lesson!
