Looking out of my kitchen window I spotted the Moon and Mars in close proximity.
Just for fun I grabbed the camera and took a snap.
Probably lots of 'noise' in the image, but here's the result with some captures from a nightsky program inset as reference.
I have been watching Mars on a weekly basis the past few months as the planet is receding from Earth and won't be visisble during most part of 2009... After all, only got 1 or 2 observation sessions during which I could used eyepieces up to 200X and actually see details on the small planet. Your photo isn't bad, rather good for just a fast snapshot
