Mars and Regulus are just a degree apart in tonight's night sky. Their contrasting colours are a beautiful sight - so do take a look!

Here are a couple of photographs that I took last night with a zoom lens. In the night sky, the two are separated by the width of a few of your fingers at arms length! |
