That evening when the *Super Pink Moon* was rising, I was out (7:30 PM until after 9:30 PM EDT) with my 10-inch Newtonian telescope and enjoyed views of Mars and M35 open cluster in Gemini (lower power views to see both, 34x to 86x views). As the evening progressed, the Moon rose above a tree line in the pasture and fields, moonlight flooded across the fields and woods while I continued observing. Mars and M35 about 0.5-degrees angular separation in the sky. A very lovely time out with cool, clear skies for viewing with the telescope.
