Approach of the moon to Mars ca.5.45 CET

        

The astronomical event began at 6.07 CET about 18° above the horizon with the disappearance of the "Red Planet" behind the moon. At this point the seeing was still reasonably O.K

Construction and comfortable -6C° at the observation point, brrrr. Slight danger of icing during the night!
Nevertheless, unique astronomical impressions were experienced again.
