Mars in M44 The Beehive

[lukebl]

Here's a quick capture of Mars as it passed through M44, The Beehive (let's admit it, the most boring star cluster!), on the evening of 2nd June 2023.

Hardly my best image, but it was just a quick set of 7 half-second exposures in bright twilight at ISO 1600 with my Canon 700d and Sigma 150-500mm zoom at 500mm. Manually stacked in Photoshop.

Ni e shot. I just caught it out the bedroom  window as it got dark enough to see the Beehive in bins.
