Uranus

[IB20]

Although just a tiny blurred aqua dot this is one of my favourite images I’ve ever taken. I could have looked it at for hours through my scope & bins last night. It’s currently 2.87 billion km or 159 light minutes away and that I get to see it from my back garden is just marvellous!

Nice photo mate, what scope did you use and what phone?

The scope was an uncooled 200p dob, this was taken at 100x mag with an iPhone 11 just at the eyepiece. No bells or whistles.

That is super. I wonder what William Herschel would be thinking and have to say if he was living today, with goto 'scopes etc.

Nice shot, amazing what the phone in your pocket can do these days.
