Lunar Occultation of Venus (4-22-09)
The occultation occurred for me around 7:25 am on 4-22-09. The images were taken with a Canon XTi through a Canon 50mm f/1.8, a Nikon 200mm f/4, and a Meade AR6. Some of these images were published at Spaceweather.com (see the link here or go directly to here).

Mate, great photos. I am so miffed that I forgot about this. Quite an amazing sight really. Well done.
Thanks, Phil. Perhaps you will catch the conjunction of Mercury, Luna, and the Pleiades tonight. It looks like I'll be clouded out. Thanks again.
