Details:
Although the planets are the obvious members of the procession, there are some hidden attendees too, in this case faint 12th-magnitude Comet 22P/Kopff. It's pacing Mars eastwards but slowly falling behind. On June 6-7 it'll pass by 1° south of Jupiter. Hopefully the inset demonstrates there *is* something there, but the comet is very low contrast--it was invisible in the subs and even in the combined stack.
