Occultation of Uranus

I was fortunate to observe the occultation of Uranus by the moon

yesterday(November 28). I first thought I can observe this using the

10x50 binoculars. But I could not see Uranus through the binoculars.

The sky had hazy clouds. I set up my c11 and I could see Uranus only

as a dot(70x). As I was watching Uranus suddenly disappeared. I

thought it could be because of clouds. Suddenly I realised that it

was 9:23pm(Indian Standard Time) the time of beginning of occultation.

I could not observe the reappearance of Uranus from the lit side of

the moon at around 10:25pm as it became cloudy.
