Uranus, Neptune and Moons - Oct 27th '17

Seeing wasn't the best, but it's been a while since I tried for Uranus and Neptune, so after a little visual showing my daughter the outer planets before her bedtime, I attached the camera and set to recording. I've used Stellarium screen captures for the background to the captures, showing what I captured in relation to what was meant to be there! Both planets captured with my 8 inch Skywatcher Explorer with the x2 TAL barlow, ASI120MM-S and ZWO LRGB filters. The clouds were just starting to cover Uranus for the moons capture, so I had to crank up the gain as I began to loose brightness.

Remarkable for a 200mm.

Very well done! I am most impressed.

Do carry on. It's great to see more people are exploring these once-considered 'lackluster' outer gas-giants.

Thank you!

Great work. I like to observe Uranus and Neptune as it's mind blowing how far out into the Solar System that you can see the disc of a planet and it's colour.

[Pete Presland]

Excellent captures and very well presented.

Well done, Uranus' moons, very impressive.
