Thanks all for commenting. Mars is indeed very bright and red. It was a spectacular sight: a red moon, a red planet/"star" and thunderstorms in the distance. Very difficult to capture correctly. Clouds cleared minutes before this shot. Decided for ISO 25600 on the KP which I didn't test before and as a result ended up with a lot of noise.
