Re: Moon-Mars near Conjunction
Beautiful images, Rebekah! From an astronomy point of view I like the conjunction in the first image, but I especially like the composition and lighting of the second one.

Re: Moon-Mars near Conjunction
Thank you everyone! I did a bunch of exposures to try doing star trails as well, now I just need to learn the software

Re: Moon-Mars near Conjunction
