I was able to get a sequence of color shots of the occultation of Saturn by the Moon early in the morning on December 28, 2001. After aligning 15 of the images, I created an animation of the event. All taken with a Nikon D-1 CCD camera, at prime focus on the 10" f/10 LX-200.

Click on the small image above to download the MOV file of the animation. It is about 1.1 megs.
