This morning at 05:00 the Moon occulted (eclipsed) Mars. Here's some photos taken with a 500mm lens on a Nikon D500 (and cropped) for anyone interested. First 2 are as Mars is about to be covered, the third as it reappeared and hour later.

Thanks for the comments. So often these events are ruined by the weather, so it was good the get some results, even if it was in sub-zero temperatures
