Uranus ans Moons???

[MrEd]

Hi All

Boy was this a tricky shot....

Taken in terrible seeing and planet unfreindly haze.

8" SCT @ a low f20 to combat seeing.

Sum of two exposures, The question is for those with good

eyesite -Are they moons?

If so any idea?

Thanks for looking

I'm not sure about the top one but the group of three are (according the Starry Night) Ariel, Umbriel and Titania. Nice shot.

Crikey Ed that's a superb shot with an 8 inch given the conditions. I would go along with Gaz on the moons front.

[Brinders]

Superb given the conditions!

[Sam]

Wow! they're the moons I think, like the others have said. Great shot!

[Doc]

That is a great shot off very hard objects.

Well done.

[Ant]

Well done, an unbeleivably hard ting to image!

Nice one.

Ant

ps, I'd be happy with just the planet

You deserve a big pat on the back for that Image Ed. It is extremely difficult to do, Uranus is difficult enough, but to bag three moons too is incredible.

Well done Ed, you must be pleased catching those moons. I noticed that you have the date on your image as the 25th. Should this be the 24th as this matches the image in Starry Night?

The upper most object may just be a background star of mag +13.65

Yeah sorry about the date thing David, The error was converting BST to UT if you know what i mean.

Thanks all of you for helping so far and here is a tidier version.

I had a feeling the uppermost one would be a HIP star.

Very well done Ed, nice to see a outer planet captured with its moons!!

P.S why isn't Miranda visible at all if the top blip is a star?

[MrEd]

Hi Kev

There are a few factors that limit the shot,

Mainly the seeing and haze for something so faint.

But even stretching the curves on the long exp shot

fail to reveal it.

I will try and shoot it again soon but when we get improved conditions

is anyones guess.

Great great shot

Now, resample it by 400% in size, guassian blur the pixel crud/noise, lassoo around it to make it a tad rounder...

And submit it to the mags..

[legion48]

That's a heck of a catch Mr Ed. :shock:

[Starflyer]

Great image Ed :shock:

[NickH]

You have Oberson too Ed...check your mail..(UR7 image).it matches the position I am thinking..

The top one is a star..

Man that was good data...

[MrEd]

Resampled and processed by the

great Nick H :notworthy:

Many thanks Nick

Ed

[NickH]

I could tidy up the edges around the planet and moons if that helps.

Thanks again Ed for such great data to play with

[algol]

that is awesome, get onto neptune next fella.

[cygnusx1]

Always inspiring a gas giant, seems almost unreal in that icy bluish/green hue doesn't it?

[Rob]
