The moon and Mars

The moon is now 100% illuminated (according to the web site I use), but the absolute full moon is not until 04:08 GMT tomorrow.  At roughly the same time, Mars will disappear behind the moon for a bit over one hour.  This is called the lunar occultation of Mars.  I don't think I'll be waking up for it. I will try for another shot of the two later this evening, if the sky stays clear.
