Description

OCD type collimation and acclimation of the OTA.

Baader 610 nm longpass filter, mount alignment OK, camera ready...

Bad transparency, seeing on 2/5...

Well, enough whining. Uranus is always a tough target, but in spite of all of the above, succeded on capturing 3000 usable frames, at 500 ms exposure time, some more for the dark frame, and here comes the Sentinel of the Outer Darkness, with three moons, AND some detais on the cloudtops!

The Polar cap brightnening and some banding near and above the equator, or so it seems...

Used a C11, at f/25, with a Grasshopper 3.
