Equipment Details:

Early this morning, before dawn, the 3rd-magnitude, Star Zeta Tauri was occulted by our 31 percent moon. I made this video of the event using a Vixen 8 inch VC 200 L telescope on a Losmandy GEM and a Cannon 60D camera.

Post-processing Details:

This is a "still" from a video I made of the event. I enlarged the frame and adjusted the brightness in Adobe.
