Title

Montage of images from the 2022/23 Mars appatition

About this image

This is a montage of some of the images that I captured during the 2022/23 apparition of Mars. The images have been sized to accurately display their relative apparent size and phase. I was a bit late starting on 18 Oct 2022, with the last image centre right captured 23 Feb 2023. The centre image was captured when Mars was close to maximum apparent diameter of 17.2 arcsecs, whereas by 23 Feb 2023, it was half that size and looks even smaller due to it's shrinking phase.
