It is the only bright "star" by the moon (bottom left) so I guess you saw Mars 8)

Nice view alright!

Michael,
nice images. With the naked eye, Mars seemed closer than that, but the proportions/distance in your picture are right!

Had a couple of glimpses tonight myself - through the binoculars, it was quite nice to see the pair. Wasn't in a position to try the 35mm camera atatched to the ETX though... :(

Good images lads,
wouldn't it have been nice if the moon had actually gone over mars altogether.
