Maybe lazy?

 I had not realized the interest in the lunar occultation of Mars this past  Monday until I received letters from Ottawa and Tokyo, incidentally 12 hours ahead of me - thanks, "Hagi"and your students for asking:

I an hard against our building to shellter my and the camera from a cold wind, stronger than a breeze.  When I went out around 8PM/20:00 the Moon was clear and all was well.

However, when I returned to start the sequence of "ingression", it had so clouded up that I could not see even a hint of where the Moon might be. So I missed the start. And I was not optimistic about seeing the exit. But still I ought to try.

Howeverm as you will note, I was several minutes late and the occultation was over. That is Mars above and to the right of the Moon;

I did some stretching of the intensity scale as well as colour  - in that first shot of this sequence - to explore possibilities for another time. The last shot is close to what one would see through binoculars. I used my Nikon 1000 to take these images and Paint Shop Pro for "processing".

Thanks for spurring me on - WOB
