Venus with UV Filter 21st March 2020

[lukebl]

After a couple of days in lockdown attempt to undo my failed efforts to collimate my Ritchey Chretien, I think I might have got the scope back to square one.

This is a capture from this afternoon about an hour before sunset. Quite a bit of detail visible.

Captured with Baader U-Venus and IR filters, c. 20,000 frames for UV channel. 14ms exposures @ c. 70fps. Green channel made from 50% UV and 50% IR . 3x Televue Barlow, Omegon RC8 (effective focal length 4800) and a ZWO ASI 290MM Mini Mono camera. 

I'd like to lose the blue cast. Can anyone tell me how I do that in Photoshop?

Nice image! For the blue, go to adjustments>levels and select blue channel. Grab the middle slider under the histogram and slide it right to reduce the blue

Thanks for that, Craig.

It's gone a bit yellow, but I think I prefer it.

Yes I like the second one too. You can also tweak the red and green sliders as well to tune the colour cast... It can be quite a fine balancing act though.

Some nice detail again.
