Thanks, Guido. Practically three full moons in a row and I guess we get a blue moon on the 29th. The proximity of Mars is fun too; or maybe I just started to notice.

Excellent David.

I think the small one is the moon!

Take care.

Thanks Rayyan. Actually, you'd be correct if "small" means the least mass; the Moon has less mass than Mars. Also, the Moon's radius is about half that of Mars. Wikipedia is a wonderful thing sometimes 8)

Nice. The clouds add a good deal of interest.

Thanks, Paulo. I agree about the clouds, but it was touch and go with Mars as it would dim at times.
