Surprisingly, this probably wont have much of an effect. Unless the target star is only a degree or two away from the Moon and below mag 9 you should be able to see the star fairly easily. That's one of the fun things about occultations, the Moon phase isn't necessarily the limiting factor, not like it would be for imaging or visual observations.

Sadly this one will be below the horizon for me.
