Planetary night

After many rainy days a quite good night. I wanted to capture the last images of Mars before its distance boecomes too far. I waited also for Saturn but I got a not perfect image because the planet was too law on the horizon... Anyway I have used the picture to create a comparison between two images taken at one year time interval.

Yesterday, with a good sky after many rainy days, I have worked again on Mars...
These are three monochromatic images made with red, blue and green filters:

And this is the final combined image:
