Description

Two Versions of the Jupiter & Venus conjonction of the 20150630. The separation was only 0.3°, so it was possible to shot them with my small KAF1603ME CCD at a 900 mm focale. My First version (Originale) is in true color with the true twilight color. The final version is in true color too, but I have removed the twilight and compensated the atmospheric aborption to simulate a true night condition.

My camera is not suited for this kind of photo. The NABG blooms a lot, and on Venus with Mag 4.4, it's frigthful !! However, this camera have a good dynamic range : 75 dB, up to 95 dB after 100 unitary shoots. Therefore, Satellites are well contrasted, on some stars of Mag 8 - 9 are still visible.

No luminance, only R,V,B to limit the bloom.

R : 100 * 0.3 sec

V : 20 * 0.3 sec

B : 20 * 0.3 sec

Processed with IRIS, Maxim-DL (debloomer) and Photoshop

80 mm refractor with Televue Powermate Barlow 2X.
