Each number is roughly 2.512 times brighter/dimmer than the one lower/higher than it, so that a difference of five magnitudes is 100 times.
I believe the reference for zero magnitude is Vega, or at least it once was.

Well, last time I tried photographing and ended up missing a couple moments I would have liked to see as a result, and the images weren’t nearly what I had hoped for.

I decided to just watch in the eyepiece. It was still very bright but I could still see the stars disappear behind the moon

Also the image description is wrong. The dark spot at 10 o’clock is Titan. It’s shadow is seen at the very top edge of the planet.

The window is more like 12 months. The first transit of Titan this cycle occurred February 8, 2025, and the last will occur January 25, 2026.

Very cool, I mean except for the fog part of course. I ended up getting lucky, and the heavy cloud cover dissipated just in time. I was also able to see Titan visually this time, which was exciting. On previous transits I was only able to see the shadow.
