Thumbs up Uranus, 7th August 2007

Hi all

This is my first image of Uranus for 2007. Transparency wasn't great due to some dew forming on the mirror, but seeing was fairly reasonable.

This image is LRGB, with 800 frames of Luminance @ 15fps and 300 frames of R/G/B colour data @ 7.5fps each.

Hmm, not a very exciting target and very frustrating to get on the chip of the CCD at > 11m focal length. I'm not sure if I'll try for Uranus again this year

Anyway glad to have captured a nice big disc anyway.

Thanks for looking.
