Hello,
I managed to grab a nice image of Uranus and two of his moons, Oberon and Umbriel earlier this morning (12:20am). I used the C9.25 at prime focus with my SBIG ST7E ccd camera.
What is remarkable is that I picked these up with a 3 second exposure! The image is a stack of 3 x 3 secs and we are already down at mag 15! These cooled SBIG cameras are quite special.
I suspect that Uranus’ moons will be available to anyone with an 8 inch scope and a cooled or sensitive ccd camera, so why not go out and give it a try. It would be nice to see one in colour.
Cheers
Dennis
