The forecast doesn't look great for the time of occultatation, but I'm going to try to observe this. I've never seen a planet occulted by the Moon.

Well, of course it was cloudy. A month ago I observed both the waning crescent Moon and Venus during the day, even observing both after local solar noon (the Sun past the north/south meridian). That practice turned out to be unnecessary.

I'm not sure I'm ready to start a countdown clock for either of the next two lunar occultations of Venus, but thank you for the advanced notice.
