Hi Fintan,
According to SkyMap Pro (V8), the current phase is at 93.0%. Hope that helps.

Stellarium will give you an idea of what 93% illumination looks like Fintan

I was just checking Stellarium and a rough (eye ball) guess would be 90-95%.
Split the difference and you get 92.5%.
This is how Mars looks tonight according to Stellarium.

MAN O MAN i wish thats how it looked when i observe it.
I'm thinking thats about 95% full.
One thing is for sure....that with the naked eye it is fading big time.
