Description

My location on the NH seacoast was right along the edge of occultation, where mars would slide gracefully along the edge of the moon for several minutes rather than blinking in an out.  Unfortunately the clouds had other ideas.  As a consolation prize the weather front cleanly swept all clouds away about 30 minutes after closest contact.  Here's the first picture I have processed.  My plan is to process 20 or so of them and turn them into an animated gif.  That may take me a while ;-)
