Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) was an easy object Monday night in binoculars.

Moon Occults Mars

The Moon occulted the planet Mars on Monday night from our point of view. Here is what it looked like, assembled from a sequence of images exposed for 1/125 second at ISO 200 with a DSLR attached to a 5-inch f/6.3 refractor.

The images were spaced at approximately 1 minute intervals around the ingress and egress of Mars.
