Telephoto shot of only star in the night sky...

 
Photo by Barry Wallace

I don't see many stars in the night sky, being so close to the city of Toronto, but I took the picture above at 9.30 p.m. last night with my 35 mm. Nikon and my small telephoto lens.   I've enlarged it considerably here, on the computer, and this is the result.   It looks like a planet, but who knows?

A friend at Delmanor Retirement Residence in Aurora, where I live, guesses it is Mars, which is a mere 330 million kms. from Earth!   I know nothing about our solar system, but I guess I can suppose this image may be that of Mars.

Meanwhile, it's back to taking photos of birds and local landscapes.

Please comment if you wish.
