Been waiting for a clear night for ages to shoot the timelapses for a 2-minute beginners' video on how to see the December 8th Mars lunar occultation. It will be full moon with Mars at opposition. They don't get much better than that!

For those clouded out, or living outside Europe/USA/Canada, I'm going to livestream it from 04:45 UT (unless, of course, I'm clouded out too!)
