Couple of carbon stars

Tried to spot these in scope, but toooooo hot and muggy.... sweat pouring off me, and couldnt concentrate with telescope, through which everything was blurry

Was hoping to see R Leporis, and W Orionis, but got them in a photo anyway.

Also tried to catch Mercury, Jupiter and Mars, early this am ... but clouds lurking in that area, mangaged a couple pics, but focus off a bit ...grrrr.
Jupiter and Mars were very close together, with Mercury up above.
Was a beautiful sight anyway.
