Uranus and Nova Del 28-09-13

[Gasman]

Managed a very enjoyable night last night but dew got the better of me

Took a spectrum of Uranus and very similar to Neptunes`s from the 22nd

Noticed a couple of smudges nearby so over exposed Uranus to get them, turned out to be NGC202 and 203 both about mag 14. Hopefully I`ve i`d the satellites ok!

and our old favourite Nova Del

and its spectrum, Balmer lines still prominent

Hi Steve,

Great capture of the moon's of Uranus including faint fuzzies and a nice comparison of Neptune and Uranus too. Apparently the absorption of red light by the methane bands accounts for the overall green and blue colour of each planet.

Nova Del is still going strong too.

cheers

Good shot. We "visual only" guys miss most of this.

Could get expensive......

OK. I'll order up a T adapter, fire up the DSLR and await bankruptcy.......

Fascinating stuff.
