We were camping at Site 15 on Big Muise Island with our friends the Chapmans. Dave had his telescope set up and watched as the Moon occulted Aldebaran; viewed it naked eye. Dave did share the view with his telescope when Aldebaran reappeared. Not sure who took the photo of Aldebaran's reappearance.
