About this image

Mars and Jupiter in Leo near the stars Al Jabhah and Regulus on the night of 12-13 November 2026. I used a Canon 600D DSLR with 300mm lens on a Star Adventurer mount. I had the lens at 75mm to be able to fit the stars in the frame, for some context. Visually, deep orange Mars and yellow-white Jupiter looked absolutely stunning in the crisp, clear November night sky.
