Hi, alienvenom!
That bright object to the upper right is Jupiter and its Galilean moons. This occultation by Mars occurred on the next morning of the conjunction of Mars and Jupiter within 0.4 degrees. At the moment of occultation, Mars and Jupiter were still close within 0.6 degrees, so I can capture them together in the f=1440mm viewfield. The alignment of Galilean moon around Jupiter helps to comprehend the close distance between Mars and chi-Leo.
