Mars and Pleiades (March 3, 2021).jpg
This is red Mars passing below the blue Pleiades star cluster (aka M45 and the Seven Sisters) on the evening of March 3, 2021. Taken on a night with some high cloud and haze adding the natural glows around Mars and the bright stars, accentuating their colours.
This is a stack of 10 x 30-second tracked exposures with the Canon 200mm lens at f/2.8 and the Canon 6D MkII at ISO 1600, the Star Adventurer 2i tracker. Taken from home. The frame is cropped in to improve the composition and cut out some gradients.
