Moon in the Beehive Cluster with Mars above

This is the moon, almost literally in the Beehive Cluster (M44). Shining above it is Mars.

This was taken with my very smallest telescope, a little Askar135. The camera was a Nikon D810A, and I had all of this on an Astro-Physics Mach2 tracking mount.

I took this at two different lengths of exposure, one that was better for the moon and one that was better for the stars. And I combined them in Photoshop to make one image that didn't blow out the moon but allowed the stars to show up.
