Blue Star, Red Planet



I had read on spaceweather that Mars was going to be 1 degree from Regulus, a bright blue star, so decided to see if I could find this conjunction. As soon as I went outside and looked up I found it, bright shiny red and blue easy to see even for us beginner astronomers. Got a blurry slight out of focus shot, cropped a bit of that one to show the lovely colours.


Made for a nice star trail shot.
