Uranus f18, 9/18/07

Uranus imaged in above average seeing @f18 with C11 and Toucam pro using 80% gain @1/25sec. The 2.5x barlow made the planet too dim and gain settings >80% added too much noise. With the 1.8x barlow, I believe a more accurate color was captured. Best 300/1700 frames @ 5fps, mirror temp +0.3degC over ambient, taken at 12:15am close to peak transit.

Hoping to find some surface details, I reprocessed the best 200/1700 frames at a 3x resample. The result, however, is just a larger green globe
