Hubby’s retirement hobby is astrophotography and is very excited about capturing Mars tonight. A blessing that we’re supposed to have clear skies tonight.

One problem with observing/photographing Mars is that the Martian day is only a few minutes longer than our day. So night after night you are going to see pretty much the same side of Mars.
