I had good sky conditions from my backyard and was able to capture a few Mars avi's. I think this will be the best of the bunch. After viewing Mars with a bino/Nagler 13's I turned to M42 and what a sight. Just as I noticed that the E and F stars were clearly visible two satellites passed right through the Trapezium. One following the other.

Great image. I like to use the appearance of the E and F stars in the trapezium as a test to evaluate the seeing (and just to enjoy - one of the most beautiful multiple stars in the sky!)
