Venus in UV with the C9.25/asi290mm from 17th April

[Pete Presland]

Venus from Monday 17thApril in very good conditions. Captured at just after 6pm in daylight, using the shed and a garden chair to block the sun 🙂 

Captured with C9.25, ASI290mm, x1.8 Barlow, Baader UV Venus filter. best 20% of 25000 frames captured. Stacked in A/S3 and lightly processed in IMppg and enlarged in CS2.

Also did a quick  run with the 807 filter which i will post shortly.

Using Dyadic wavelets as discussed in another thread on here.

The UV image is displaying really nice clouds. I like the processing too. The IR seems to have some details but a bit too bright to see them clearly.

Some nice detail on the UV shot!

Great detail in the UV image, Pete!

Crackin' images, Pete. That Baader UV filter really does the job. I have an Antlia UV filter on the way, a bit cheaper than the Baader (around $200 US) and I hope nearly as good. I'll also be auditioning the Astromania UV filter, part of a three-filter set with a CH4 and IR longpass filters. Should be an interesting time!

Very interesting & congratulations. I tried it with my new Optolong Venus filter and a colour camera. Not a roaring success but I didn’t get far before cloud arrived. Weirdly the image came out in red & yellow. I also found that I needed 1/15 sec exposure with a C11 SCT. I’ll try again with a mono camera
