About this image

I managed my first ever image of Phobos and Deimos just a few nights ago. I noticed that there was a particularly favourable point in the early hours of 20th September when both Deimos and Phobos were on the same side of Mars and both relatively distant in their orbits. This is my second (and to date, best!) image of these two small worlds orbiting Mars.
