Image Details:

With Mars in its current position, we have a wonderful triangle of the two red giants Aldebaran and Betelgeuse, and the red planet Mars creating a triangle in the evening sky and remains through the night. I tried capturing them from Kolkata, under heavy light pollution.
The image captures them while they were slightly higher in the sky, allowing me to capture some more stars along with them and a few star clusters like NGC 1647 (Pirate Moon Cluster), NGC 1746, NGC 1750, NGC 1758, NGC 1807, NGC 1817, etc.
