    Wow, that is a great shot!

    Great work, Geof! I'm happy just to see the little blue-green disc in my scope. I've actually taken some cool shots of Uranus with my DSLR when it was in conjunction with other planets, but, of course, no detail could be seen. I could get a hint of its color though.

    Thanks, Mark. It was a great way to start the day! 🤩

    Thanks, Kostas. You're right; the GRS really adds something to the view. Moon and shadow transits are exciting, too!

    I only planned to have a long evening of observing when I noticed the GRS was nearly dead-center. Of course, I had to gather some quick data after which I resumed an extended observing session (from about 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. - no work the next morning)! Orion 180mm Mak-Cass, ASI-224MC, Firecapture, Registax 6, Photoshop Cheers! Reggie

    I woke up Thursday morning to a striking conjunction of the waning crescent moon and Venus. I couldn't resist getting a shot. Taken with my Nikon D3200 at 300x zoom: Cheers! Reggie

    Thanks, Geof. It actually was Io; left-right orientation was flipped.

    Me, too, buddy, me, too!

    Love, love, LOVE the colors you brought out in the first image. The textures in all of the images are exquisite. Reggie

    Beautiful presentation, Fedele 👍 You captured Jupiter exceedingly well! Reggie
  11. orion25
    Brilliant! I noticed that new feature on my images as well. Jupiter is nothing if not dynamic. Reggie

    Nice GRS and Io there! Reggie

    Bravo, Kostas! The important thing is that you're out there. Being an astronomer is being an opportunist! Regards, Reggie

    Absolutely superb images, Geof! Some of the best I've seen in a while. Would love to see some GRS images (no rush, lol)! Regards, Reggie

    Here is an image of Jupiter a few days past opposition with the GRS and Io transit visible! I used the usual gear - Orion 180mm Mak, ASI 224MC, captured with Firecapture and processed in Registax 6: Cheers! Reggie 🤩

    Thanks, knobby. I like both; the bold colors and strong textures of the first set appeal to me, but the subtle hues and delicate lines of the second set are beautiful!

    Thanks. I do like to turn up the wavelets sometimes, though, lol!

    Thanks, my friend. I'm learning all the time

    Haha, I like "you're not making pizza"! That's going to stick with me

    Alternate, softer takes on the above images. Check these out @geoflewis:

    Thanks, Pete. Yes, the 180 really does its job. I'm glad I went for it and bought one so many years ago.

    Thanks, Goef. I go back and forth with the processing. Sometimes, I go for bold, rich colors and strong textures. Other times, I choose softer hues and subtle lines. I end up processing images multiple times for different effects. It all depends on my mood. I appreciate the feedback
  23. orion25
    Brilliant, Goef! Very nice set! Regards, Reggie🤩

    Awesome images, Avani!

    Thanks, Kim. Maks are excellent on the planets and they are great imaging scopes.
