Description

The King George planet.

Or Uranus.

Hard to get any details, as allways, but this time the transparency was like 7/10 and the seeing 3/5, so in spite of the backgroud noise from the CMOS Aptina chip from the ASI 120 MM-S, which is totally acceptable for a 700 ms exposure time, resulting in near 1,5 frames/second. Painfull to get the 3000 frames, using only 20% of these.

The montage shows a blowup and enhanced planetary disc image at top right, with a clear brightening in the "polar" region - talk about a weird rotational axis!.

Four of the very dark Uranian moons shows up. Miranda is impossible to get, at 16,1 mag it is way beyond my tube... I may try this system using a DSO camera, a QHY23...
