First attempt at Uranus with a C8

[Layton]

First attempt to capture Uranus since I started imaging earlier this year.  Not sure how much better I can get with all the LP and the size of my scope.

That's incredible! Did you use the 8SE?

[Layton]

Thanks!  I did use the 8SE and a 1.5x barlow with an ASI290MC.

You got it! No mean achievement.

Thanks.  I'm going to try to image it with a 570 nm Longpass Filter tonight and see what I get.  Also going to try stepping up to the 2x barlow but it may be too much for the camera at f/20+.

Very nice capture.

Well done! Nicely centered and everything!

You've bagged that under-appreciated gem. Great colour, too!

Maybe Neptune's turn?

Thanks.   I was going to try Neptune tonight as well as using this new 570nm longpass filter on Uranus but the clouds just rolled in so my night is done.

A great capture, very well done. That camera is very sensitive so who knows what you can achieve. Very important to ensure collimation is absolutely bang on and to have the very best of seeing. ?

Good looking Uranus disc.  well worth using the Barlow,  I would think F20 will be fine. Difficult to get much detail on Uranus and even harder on Neptune.

Light pollution will not be an issue, but good seeing conditions will always help

Well done, great result.

I always wanted to image Uranus with my 8SE, but never got around to it... I wonder if you would be able to get any cloud details if you used a IRPass filter?
