This image was also taken during the halo event using a 35mm Nikon with a 300mm lens. Exposure was set for the high reflectivity of the Moons surface (f.4.5, 1/2 sec, Velvia 50ASA) and shows a more accurate size/distance comparison between it and Mars. Lens flare and illumination of surrounding cloud is reduced to a minimum.
