Mars is at centre just two days past its opposition, and so at its brightest, in Pisces. In Cetus below, the long-period variable and red giant star Mira (which reaches its maximum brightness every 332 days) is just past its brightest. Mira is also catalogued as Omicron Ceti. Also in the frame, though faint, are the outer planets Uranus in Aries and Neptune in Aquarius. Both are also near their brightest for the year as both are near opposition. Some streaks from geostationary satellites are visible south of the celestial equator in Cetus. Taken from Alberta, Canada, on October 15, 2020.
