Cool pics, Castle...
You think the object is a UFO, or maybe a reflection/distortion from the camera since your eyes didn't see it?
Now I know where to look for Mars, anyway. Been feeling like a complete doofus as I've been unable to find it. Biggest damn object in the sky, save for the Moon, and I can't see it! Sheesh! Thanks, though...I just hope I can find it now. LOL
