Uranus

Hello,

Here's one of my first image of Uranus taken on Sept 23. Seeing was around 6/10. I used my C8 working at around f/25 and my Toucam to image this. I stacked and manually selected 1200 frames with 2X resampling. I had to do a dark subtract to reduce noise as I was already using 80% gain at 1/5 sec exposure.

I guess, I really need a bigger scope to get a decent image of Uranus.

Regards,

Chris

Chris,

Thank you for sharing you excellent image of Uranus with us all. It appears that your image shows some brightness variations across the disk of Uranus. Keep trying to image this planet whenever possible. You may be pleasantly surprised.
