Moon and Mars

[JimFox]

I captured this a week or two ago. I saw Mars below the Moon, and was amazed at just how small Mars is from this perspective.

If you hadn't mentioned that Mars was in the frame I would have thought it to be dust on my screen (in fact it made me decide to wipe off my screen).

Ha ha.... I had to make sure it wasn't a star when I was processing it.
