SEEING RED

If, like me, you get up at three, you could see the October mars/moon combination very clearly in the western sky.

It is quite dramatic but not quite as dramatic as this shot.

More like this but not blurred. Hold your head still!

Actually it is time lapse; why the moon is so bright.

And very very orange/red (vermilion?). More than I remember from last time.

These are google-image shots but the bottom one is pretty close to what we are seeing now.
