Venus 6th April: UV & False Colour

[CraigT82]

Some pretty decent conditions just before sunset. Got out with the Fullerscope for an hour and captured UV and IR using Baader filters.

UV= 90k frames collected and 9k stacked

IR= 30k frames collected and 3k stacked.

False colour made with synthetic green (50% IR and 50% UV)

Cracking image. I'm amazed how you can capture 90k frames. It takes me long enough to capture 20k.

[CraigT82]

Thanks Luke.  I run with gain at about 75% and an exposure of about 9ms and it takes me nearly 15 mins to capture 90k frames (3x30k)

That's just plain beautiful, Craig. I love seeing cloud detail on Venus  

Clear skies, my friend,

Really really great images, well done.

Some really nice subtle detail visible there.

Here is a better presentation of last night's Venus image. I think this will be going up on our downstairs toilet wall of fame!
