Uranus

August 7, 2005

The planet Uranus

The seventh planet from the sun. Discovered by William Herschel.

Images taken with TEC-140 Telescope mounted on Losmandy G11 mount. Camera used was a Canon EOS20D used with eyepiece projection with a 13.8 mm eyepiece.

Ten 5 second exposures cropped, aligned and stacked in ImagesPlus 2.5 Beta 2 as well as 5 3 minute exposures (for the moons).

Focused on a star low on horizon (near Fomahaut) and interval too long to really get planet well. Plan to redo later this year.
