    I just can't take my eyes off these two together, they are one of my favorite objects and seeing them together is a real treat for me

    Yes agree, but also Saturn, being in Chicago with heavy light pollution those 3 show up the brightest for me.

    I'm glad you said this. It has been a real pleasure to see Mars, Antares, and Saturn gleaming so bright and warm for so many nights. Even nights that turned out not great for observing still showed these beauties..
