Finally - Uranus and 4 of his moons

[Dennis]

Hi

At last I was able to image 4 of the moons of Uranus. It is quite tricky trying to balance the exposure between the disc of the planet and the moons. Too long (>3 secs) and the moons are swamped by the light from Uranus; too short (<3 secs) and you don’t record them!

Cheers

Dennis

Hi Dennis,

excellent work.

[Lee]

Thats great work.... That SBIG really is a good piece of kit....

[Dennis]

Thanks guys! The configuration of the moons in the image reminds me of the views of Jupiter and his 4 Galilean satellites I used to see through dad's binoculars when I was a wee laddie.

Cheers

Dennis
