Description

The Mars image was taken shortly after the lunar occultation was over, and the Jupiter image was taken while the Moon was covering Mars.  Something to do during the hour Mars was hidden by the Moon.  They are both RGB images taken through the Vixen ED115 refractor using a 2X Powermate, and therefore are at the same image scale.  The seeing was very good that nigh; these images are close to or at the maximum resolution of a 115 mm telescope.
