Moon, Mars, the Beehive Cluster

This is Mars and M44, the Beehive Cluster, very close to last night's 40+% moon. As is usually the case, I learned aboyt the interesting conjunction from my EarthSky newsletter.

Williams Optics Redcat51 scope, Nikon D810A camera, Astro-Physics Mach2GTO tracking mount.

Removed the moon from the 2- and 5-second exposures and manually stacked the stars and Mars with a stack of 1/320th of a second exposures of the moon.
