Even though the occultation of Mars by the Moon was not visible in the Florida panhandle, we were close enough that it was a near miss. While this is not one of my normal occultation targets, I was able to come up with a combination of scope and camera to get both objects into one field of view. I was able to live stream about 12 minutes of the Moon closing on Mars before clouds ended any possibility of watching the rest of the event.
Moon / Mars
This is one frame of the streamed video. I was pleasantly surprised that surface detail was still visible on Mars with the camera gain set as low as it was to prevent overexposure of the Moon.
