Uranus.....Just for a change.

[Jarvo]

Evening all.

I know Uranus is not the most visually stimulating planet but i though I would add a little variety anyway.

Took this with the 6" Skywatcher Pro Maksutov - Cassegrain - single shot with the DSLR.

I'm really please with the colour and the fact that you can see the tiny disk.

Just made it before the clouds rolled in.

p.s. Suffered for my art. Caught my finger in the EQ5 mount during set up. Never experienced such pain before. :crybaby: :crybaby:

Looking at it visually is not much different either, even in a 16"!!!

Nice capture Jarvo
