Occultation of 8th Magnitude Star by the Moon

During the 2025 04 30 conjunction of the Moon with the bright star Elnath, there was an occultation, by the Moon, of the unnamed, faint star (mag 7.97) HD35586. As it would be occulted by the unlit, night side of the Moon, I knew it would be possible to photograph the occultation. The image, here, acquired at 20:26:24 shows the star approaching the lunar limb before disappearing behind it exactly on schedule, just two seconds later.
