Description

A tiny (cropped) Mars, captured from Reykjavík. It's a tiny red dot, but this is my first planetary image and I'm quite proud of it! Particularly considering my modest equipment. It's also the first time I capture an image with a mono camera and RGB filters.

I'm really thrilled I managed to capture this image
