When did trees start growing in outer space?
Seriously, why do it that way? The picture would have been much better without the trees in the way.
Shots like these are more art than science. The newer CCD sensors have opened up this kind of photography.
Yeah, that’s not a big fave here either.
Stockholm is 60 degrees North. This time of year, Mars and the other planets don’t rise all that far above the horizon. So you might have little choice but to shoot through trees, particularly if you’re operating from a fixed site. Otherwise, it’s haul your gear up to a rooftop or out into an open field where the trees wouldn’t interfere. But, personally, I kind of like this shot as it is, taken through the trees. Creates interest for me. Nothing more boring than a red dot next to a blue dot on a flat featureless background! :-)
