Description

Seeing that Mars would pass very close to the Moon today at 12h47, I couldn't resist trying to catch that with the RC8, though Mars is very far now...

Anyway, I was also curious if I would see it with the sun very close. And yes ! OK, that's just a blurry disk, but it is clearly visible :-)

I have enhanced a bit the color of Mars of course, but I processed it in AutoStakkert and placed both the Lucky Imaging versions of both of them exactly where they stand on the original picture.
