Uranus and northern polar hood (16/08/23)

[Kon]

First Uranus for this year. I captured in IR and the northern polar hood is showing nicely as the bright disc. 8" Dob, manual, asi462mm, 2.5xTV powermate, IR pass. Resized to 200%. IR is false coloured.

Thanks Stuart. It was the Astromania IR (it passes from 650).

Thanks Martyn. I am looking forward to your capture. The polar hood is quite prominent this year. I want to try under better conditions.

A fine capture, something I have only ever managed once.

Thanks. I think it's quite favourable this year so worth trying if you can.

Hopefully all being well I get some sessions in soon.
