Default Re: Does anyone else have a view of the moon and it's halo the last three nights?

You might like to know that tonight, around 9pm GMT, Mars will be very close to the full moon - about a fist's width...and is quite close to the Earth at 65 million miles. Not as close as in 2003 apparently, but will still be very bright and red.

Get scanning for martians !

In any case, if any of you have an SLR camera and a telephoto lens, it should make for good pictures, so I've read...Get those binoculars out!

Happy stargazing,

K
