Uranus and moons, August 3rd

[Starman]

Here's a capture of Uranus taken on the morning of August 3rd. All 5 of its main moons were on display at this time...

wow

what a capture, what was your focal length?

[Starman]

To be honest, I stupidly didn't record it (I'm not well at the moment with a stinking cold - that's my excuse!!). I believe it was with my 2.5x Powermate which gives me a focal length just under 10m.

Excellent image starman

Extaordinary coup this Pete. I would not have thought it possible, but you put that thought to rest.

Excellent work.

Hope you shake the cold off soon. Summer ones can be hard to shift. I recommend plenty of Jack Daniels. It won't cure it, but you sure will notice it less.

Absolutely fantastic! I struggle to even pick Uranus out at all with my kit ... so to see images of the moons....? Wow! Congratulations on a fantastic image

I intend to give this a go here from Brisbane, you've got a beautiful solid disc and Miranda is the big catch as it is so faint at 16th mag and does not stray far from the planet.

[Space Cowboy]
