Mars
It was fairly clear last night so I took my trusty Nikon D4 outside to try and capture a photo of Mars. #nikonD4
Keeping in mind I don’t have a telescope to do this with, I relied on a Nikkor 70-200mm F2.8G to do this for me, coupled with a Manfroto tripod for good measure.
Here’s Mars fully blown up…. and yes, it is red to the naked eye of you haven’t seen it in the night sky.

Here’s the full size image in medium 1500 pixel size.. click for larger of course. Mars is the bright dot near the center, off to the left a little.
The full size image can be downloaded here. It’s 3.5 megs in size, 4928 x 3280.
Yes, I am having fun with the camera.
