Mars and Saturn

Took these last night, with Mars close to M44, and Saturn still up in Leo. Taken with a 450D ISI 800 about 10 sec.
The closer and blurrier image of Mars and M44, it is actually 3 stacked photos,done with DSS, but still made a bit of a mess of it. Need to play a lot more with that program and the camera.

Pencil in the 10th July, they will be less than half a degree apart I think. Should be a good photo opportunity.

A great start Liz, looks good.

Did you use a telescope for these images?
