This photomontage has been generated by Alexander based on two images of the
eastern lunar limb and of Saturn which were acquired subsequently. This
procedure was necessary to cover the extremely high dynamic range of the scene,
since the surface brightness of Saturn is much lower than that of the Moon.
The relative position of the Moon and Saturn is metrically correct; it was
determined based on structures visible at the lunar limb in the original video
images.
