The Moon and Mars
A couple of years ago there was a very close conjunction of the Moon and Mars. I believe this called an ‘Occultation’. This night I was ready for it and took the telescope out to the back yard and waited for sundown. The biggest issue was that the intensity of the near full Moon was washing out the simple digital camera I was using for the photos. If I adjusted the settings to get detail on the Moon, Mars was almost not visible. It was tricky and here I have selected a few of my better photos. I hope you find these interesting <script > var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-25190098-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
