catman161 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Best 70% of 1500 frames. SPC900, TV 2x Powermate and 200P on the NEQ6. Not great but it's a start Uranus 24_10_2013 by Gattouomo161, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Oh it's lovely! I do like uranus That is great felix; nice and sharp, and nice contrast. Clearly a greenish sphere. It probably won't mean much to non astronomy people, but i think it's a cracking image, especially given its distance. Well done. I want to have another go now its nice and high (well relatively), and sort the focus out this time. Maybe this weekend if weather and back allows. Good work.

catman161 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Thanks James It's the first time I have ever seen it last night. I also took some Avis of the moon and Jupiter (went to bed at 2:30am) but unfortunately the focus was slightly off so I have ditched the footage. It went cloudy at 1:30am so I packed up then. I also had a great visual night with two new messiers and a couple of nebulae that I have not seen before; NGC 6543 the cats eye nebula and NGC 7662 the blue snowball.

+Graham Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 That is a little cracker Felix. Cannot say I have even seen it. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 that is really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest foundaplanet Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 That has come out well, good one. As James has said it may not look like much if you don't know what it is but I reckon taking your own image of Uranus is quite special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Yeah, just be careful who you let hold the camera when imaging uranus; it is a tricky target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Thanks guys-appreciate the compliments. It has made me think about perhaps looking at an ASI120 though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Nice one matey - I think you may need a 4 x Power mate for that planet due to it's size but looks great none the less, lovely colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
