Uranus & 4 moons - repost in COLOUR

[Dennis]

Hello,

Here is the modified 3 pane composition of Uranus and 4 of his moons; Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon.

The Uranus colour in Pane 1 was provided by re-sampling the Meade LPI image from Pane 2. My lack of skills and small image scale prevented me from blending the disc in more seamlessly.

Cheers

Dennis

Great image Dennis! You and Paul are doing some great outer planet work, inspiring stuff.

Hi Dennis,

Well done. Good colour for Uranus.

[Dennis]

Thanks guys. I just noticed that my poor colour blending attempts have left a ring around Uranus.

I would just like to formally announce that this definitely is an imaging artefact and not the first ground based amateur image of the rings of Uranus.

Cheers

Dennis

Good colour ! That's really quite nice. Nice and clear too, looks like you had fairly good viewing conditions.

I was about to ask if they were the rings.... was thinking that is truely an amazing shot (not that is itsnt), and how much better a 9.25 is over a 8"....

It is a great shot though even if they arent the real rings....

It would not have surprised me in the least if you WERE the first to capture these, Dennis
