Details:
Mars is now close enough to Earth to be visible to the naked eye at daylight, as a white point, even without needing a conjunction with the Moon.
Thanks to a very windy and clear sky, I easily found Mars with naked eye at sunrise time using just a wall for the approximate azimuth direction, and I tracked it with naked eye until 15 minutes after sunrise using a gutter as reference for its position. The photos were taken in this time interval.
Together with the Moon, Venus, Sirius and of course the Sun, these mornings one can appreciate five celestial bodies simultaneously with naked eye in daylight.
Mars alt 35°, mag -1.98 reduced by air to -1.75.
Canon EOS 600D hand-held.
