Clearer skies after air travel ban?

Posted By Joe McBride
I think that all of us in the Northern latitudes will be able to see the effects of this for quite some time.

Uranus

Posted By Joe McBride
Thanks guys...This was easy really. I knew there wasn't any detail to try and capture. All I had to do is get a round disk. As for the mount...it is the stock GC-11 that I bought new back in 1995. I don't know if there is a newer, better replacement gear set out there or not. If its balanced right it always seems to do the job.

Its all mostly in the processing...given you have good data. Nice image anyway...better than any DSLR will do.

"Soap Bubble" Processing Help

Posted By Joe McBride
I think... they are hot pixels from a dark frame that didn't have the same temp as the light frame and thus show up as dark pixels when subtracted out. I get them all the time and find it frustrating.

A good day with the ToUcam

Nice Saturn...it doesn't even get to the meridian yet. Mars is kinda small still but you got the polar cap to show well.

Barely an eclipse here!

Taken about 25 hrs later (this morning) with a 300mm @f8, 6 shots stacked in registax. Moon was much more yellow than yesterday.
