Uranus and Neptune

#1

Post by Shelldrake »

I grabbed these images of Uranus (top) and Neptune (bottom) this morning with my 8" SCT and ASI224MC camera. Best 50 frames stacked with AS!3 and tweaked with Photoshop and MS Photo to bring out color and sharpen the images.

Very nice, it looks like you managed a slight bit of banding on Neptune as well.

Nice! Increase the exposures to a few seconds and you will capture some moons too.

Clear skies,
