Mars/Moon Conjunction from Weymouth, Massachusetts

On 12/18/2024 05:20 am by Robert Ribokas| Weymouth, Massachusetts, USA

When I went outside at 5:15 this morning and looked up at the Moon, Mars was totally lost in the glare and not even visible to the unaided eye. When I grabbed the binoculars I could see it very close to the Moon though, so I took a few shots with the camera at various exposures.

Nikon D850 with 28-300mm Nikkor lens @ 300mm
ISO 800, f/5.6, 1/2500sec

Cropped image. Brightness of Mars enhanced to make it more visible. Also added some red.
