MARS AND M22 WITHIN Same field
On April 1st 2018 Mars passes 21' minutes of arc North of the very bright globular cluster M22 , one of the finest and easiest to resolve globulars in the night sky in just about any aperture over 76 mm.
At magnitude +5.9 and apparent diameter of 24' and Mars at 9 " ,this should make for a spectacular image.
Even I'll take a few with my DSLR.
PS:Of course no long exposure possible with bright Mars.
