Image Details:

The image was made out of a video captured on the 17 April 21 evening, it was cloudy and hazy as soon the event started. In the window of clouds rolling in i took some shots and also have taken some shots when clouds rolled in.
It was amazing to see the 2 celestial bodies moving in the same direction yet with different speed made a illusion of Mars rising from behind the moon and it was amazing to witness this event. This was shot from a city so we have light pollution here which hinders the clarity and details of the images.
Input frames in video were 305, it was a very short video as mars was moving relatively very fast, which would have created a drift in the image.
