Details:
Moon Occultation of Mars was visible on 17th April largely in India, these occultations are rare infact this was my very first visual as well as imaging of a Lunar Occultation of a Planet.
Immersion wasn't visible at my location as the Sun was 5degrees above the horizon, however I was ready with my setup (40Kg) at my rooftop to view Mars emerge from the lit crescent lunar disk, one of the most surreal moments, unforgettable.
Delhi Skies were supportive as it had rained a-bit day before hence the pollution and haze were at low levels, for once we were lucky to see this rare event.
