Time stated is UT. Unfortunately my need to recuperate from a nasty cold put paid to my recording the Triton occultation, but early on I had a first attempt at imaging this fairly well-known triplet of galaxies in Draco. Not an award winning photo - but isn't it amazing to see three galaxies so close together in the sky! The width of the image is circa 20 arcmin.
