I know little about astrophotography, but it seems to me that photos of an occultation during a full moon might be hard to get with the lunar glare. Is this correct? The best occultation photos I have seen are of a planet next to the unlit limb of the moon's face:

On the other hand, a quick search located this one, which seems to be on the lit limb:
