![]() After our cold January, February has started out unusually mild. On this mild, clear evening, the 4-day old Moon brightened the sky from eastern Pisces, but we were still able to get a nice shot of Mars making an almost perfect isoceles triangle with Castor and Pollux. Mars is still far brighter than the stars, now being magnitude -0.98 and having a diameter of 13.42" arcseconds. Unannotated image, constellation outline. |
