Pandemic Venus :)

[ursamajorro]

Hi you all! After years of inactivity, I rediscovered this forum...

I managed to capture Venus during the isolation period due to pandemic.

I used mainly two setups:

Mak 127 + Powermate 2.5x + SAM WiFi + MS Lifecam Studio (+ laptop or smartphone)

or

Mak 127 + Powermate 2.5x + AZ GTi + MS Lifecam Studio (+ laptop or smartphone)

Very nicely captured.

This is a really nice series of images. Forgive the stupid questions - is the Lifecam a webcam? How do you attach it to the powermate?

Sorry for late reply. My webcam (yes, it is a webcam) is modified and I put it into an eyepiece tube. So, it's easy to connect it with the Powermate.

My first attempt using violet filter. Seeing was not so good.

A much better edit from another video.

Please, can a mod change the title in "Venus ursamajorro"?

Reprocessed video.
