The planet Mars 9 days before opposition. It was just shy of 51 million miles away at the time. I took this image when Mars was 60 degrees in elevation in my backyard. Since my location is only 3 meters above sea level, I was looking through a lot of atmosphere, which distorts the view. You can't miss Mars in the ENE evening sky as a brilliant fiery ruddy red looking star.
