Details:
Knowing that Mars was passing close to Venus these days, the challenge of trying to register both seemed a good one, particularly as rooftops in front mean that I lose Venus while the sky is still very bright. To my surprise even though the camera gave me 1/13s at f13.3 with the equivalent of ISO800, the frame does seem to show a very faint image of Mars. With 5.5 magnitudes difference, this was a very satisfying observation.
