I left for work early today, to finally catch a glimpse of Mars. After reading on several sites how “easy” and “obvious” it is to spot Mars in the nightsky, I have to say, it is not really obvious, and not easy to spot at all. It was the biggest thing on the sky that I could spot, and a lot closer to earth than the stars. It was not orange, but a little darker than the stars. I made some piccies!

You cannot see Mars itself, which was the star looking thingie that I saw, but you can see that orange “dust” which I didn´t see. Piccies below.

So what did you see? How did it look like? Because I am everything but sure that I really saw Mars.
