Lunar Occultation of Mars
On the 13th of January, the Wolf Moon occulted (moved in front of) Mars for observers here in the US. This event is hard to image due to the brightness of the moon and the relative faintness of Mars. These images are very close crops and follow the event right to the points at which Mars vanishes behind the moon.
