Thanks Trevor, it seemed OK, but I was pursuing another target that night. Too many fun targets, not enough sleep -- I think I need to retire!

Thank you Trevor, I will be working on this planet for a while, so hope to get some good images.

What sort of equipment are you using to capture Uranus?
HI Ric, I'm using a C11 'scope with a DMK21AU04.AS mono camera. For the RGB images I'm using Orion RGB filters. For the IR images I'm using a Custom Scientific photometric "I" filter. This has a 50% cutoff range of 740 nm to 1020 nm, with peak transmission of 85% at 820 nm. Possibly a bit long for the sensitivity of the camera.

Thanks Ray, still waiting for the jetstream to die down a bit. We really seem to be under it down here.
