Description

From Houston Mars was only scheduled to pass close to the Moon at precisely 9:06 PM central. Clouds were also set to start coming in about this time. As Mars approached the Moon I got the second shot where it's further away, and immediately after that shot clouds stormed in full force. The image I got with the Moon and Mars closest was shot through the clouds at a lower frame rate to get the brightness up. Really happy with how it turned out.
