Description

The Moon and Mars made a gorgeous pair tonight. They are less than two degrees apart. I captured this this at Boothe Park during our normal meeting on the first and third Friday's of each month. The image is a composite of two exposures. The moon was a 1/800 second exposure and Mars was a 4 second exposure. I combined them in photoshop and did minor processing.
