Spent some time with Mars last night. Very beautiful. The Moon was out, big and bright, washing out all but the brightest stars. I knew that Mars wouldn't be high enough in the sky to see from inside MPO until around 10:30, so I got things set up before the sun went down, then went back outside around 9:30 to get started. (That way, I don't have to spend 4+ hours in sub-freezing temps!!!)
I took several video sequences of the Red Planet. I have software that will align and stack the individual frames from the video to create a high-quality still image. The image below was created from 600 video frames:
