A selfie observing Mars on Halloween night, October 31, 2020, with Mars two weeks past a close perihelic opposition on Oct. 13. The seeing was particularly good this night (despite the thin cloud). I am observing using the Astro-Physics 130mm EDF f/6 refractor and the Baader Großfeld binocular viewer for a comfortable two-eyed viewing experience. The “Eye of Mars,” Solis Lacus or Planum, was particularly prominent. The Full “Blue” Moon provides the illumination. This is a single exposure with the Canon 6D MkII and 35mm Canon lens.
