This picture was taken in 2014, by an amateur astronomer using a telescope in his backyard in New Zealand. Some people are surprised at what can be seen through a modest "hobby" telescope.
I remember this phenomenon. The astronomy magazine to which I subscribed announced that Saturn and the moon would be "lined up" on a certain date, and I was in my backyard looking through my telescope. I saw this view myself. I did not attempt to take a picture, as astrophotography is something I have not dabbled in.
