Description

For the last few nights Mars has been very close to the globular cluster NGC 5897 in the constellation of Libra. It is 46,000 light years from us and is dim compared to other globular clusters but I thought I would try to get both in one shot.

Mars is plenty bright but you need a telescope to see NGC 5897 which is on the right side of the image.
