In occasion of the asteroidal occultation of Rhodope over Regulus, on 19 Octorber 2005 (visible in a narrowed stripe along Europe), I shot this picture from Vibo Valentia (Calabria, Italy) of Lion costellation, with an exposure timing of 15 seconds:
Note that, although it was partially clouded, are visible all main Lion’s stars:
For a description of this astronomical event see “Occultazione asteroidale: Regulus vs. Rhodope” (in italian language), my article (with Costantino Sigismondi, in english) or the IOTA site.
