About this image

For clarity - this is not a composite image but a stack of a section of video, short enough not to show too much trailing of the Moon, although there is some.

Created a little video https://vimeo.com/779197425 of the occultation and reappearance showing how close I was to missing to re-appearance. Bit of ethereal music to accompany it :)

Nice work. Do not forget, please, to send this image and any other Martian ones to the Section, at the email address in the rear of the Journal. That way contributions can be acknowledged in print later. Did you make timings? I would be glad to receive any.
