Description

The mars is around the Scorpio, then I aimed at the nebulousity area of the constellation. There is a beautiful blue nebula called Blue Horse Head (IC4592) and the red Mars was just in front of him. The wide field of f200 Borg 55FL and new QHY16200A (Beta) enabled to capture the contrasting two celestial bodies in one scene. Unfortunately some clouds passed by during the exposure then I had to select only 4 sub frames out of 10 frames, the result is still foggy around the bright stars and too few subs to enhance the blue nebula.

Hope you will try to take much better picture of the area, the Mars is still there :-)
