I've been playing around with a new ASI 290MM camera and 742nm IR filter.
While looking at the Saturn data, the moons were easily visible, so I decided to mask Saturn and up the levels for the moons to make them more obvious.
Last night I had a go at Uranus. No moons were evident, but I decided to mask the planet and stretch the background. Surprisingly there were two moons hidden in the noise. As far as I can ascertain, they are Titania and Oberon.
Hardware:
Celestron EdgeHD 1100
Celestron CGEM DX Mount
ZWO ASI 290MM Camera
Astronomik ProPlanet 742nm IR-pass filter + Astronomik Deep Sky RGB
Teleview 2x Powermate (Uranus only)
