Delta Scorpii remains in its bright state. SCOdelta 20010202.3181 1.82 OSE SCOalpha 20010202.812 10 OSE And it was so near that..... MARS 20010202.813 10 OSE It's not a star called S Marineris... :-))) Sometimes it's interesting to estimate a planet's brightness. Specially with Mars so near Antares and at the same brightness. You can easily recognize the difference between the punctual look of Antares and the steady and bigger Mars (I mean with the naked eye).
