Mars and moons......?

[legion48]

I'm pretty sure this IS Phobos and Deimos as it fits in with Sky&Telescopes Mars moon viewer for 19:00 tonight. I'd like to confirm that the star that's at 3 o'clock fits in with the positions of the moons but none of my planetarium software displays below 11th magnitude.

Quite an accomplishment! Congratulations.

Oh dear...I shouldn't have posted so soon. It seems the moons are just background stars.

I just looked at an avi taken 2 hours later and the "moons" haven't moved. False alarm, sorry.

Here is stellarium screen shot from this eve.

Unortunately it only shows mag 9.
