It doesn't take much....

Oops, sorry I didn't post location, Villa Rica, GA (just outside Atlanta). This pic was taken at one of the Atlanta Astronomy Club dark sky sites. Mars was fairly high in the sky, I would say 40'. Not too bad but some here are heading down to the FL Keys next week to get an even better opportunity.
