AstroNebulee Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 On a good seeing night I went back to familiar targets Mars & Uranus after my mammoth mission on Luna. I thought I'd give these a second go with the sky so clear last night. Stacked and processed with pipp, as3, registax 6 and ps with a little windows edit. Clear skies 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseSpaceCadet Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Great stuff. Nice detail on Mars considering it's moving away. 👍 That little Skymax 127 is keeping you busy. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame I never had this mount when Mars was in opposition last year as would if had some cracking views and images. 🌌🔭🌔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Presland Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Some nice details visible on Mars, especially considering the size of the planet and the aperture used. Nice to see Uranus as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craney Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Very nice image of Uranus. Is that with the ZWO120mm ?? Did you use a barlow ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try Neptune that night but was a bit to low from where I was observing and imaging, it's definitely my next target, clear skies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Presland Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Very tricky to get any detail on Uranus, even harder on Neptune. I did manage to capture one of the polar regions a couple of years back on Uranus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must of been a great image to capture, I expect its a bit easier when Uranus is in opposition 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was down to transparency and bit of luck with the seeing conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give it a go when we next get a clear night down here, thick with fog and mizzle now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
