With Neptune nearing opposition
I gave imaging it a go tonight. It took a good while to get it to come into focus in the frame of the webcam through the ETX. I also tried to use qa 2X barlow but it's too faint to pick up on the chip of the webcam. It was only mag +7.84 and few degrees from the full Moon but the blue colour is still very noticable. (I did no colour adjusting in this image) |

This is from stacking 4 frames at ISO 1600 for 30 seconds. Equip = Meade 12”LX200 + canon EOS 300d + registax2d+ photoshop. Its current magnitude is approximately 14, it was not visible that night visually through the telescope. |

The planet Uranus close to opposition. LX200 + Philips webcam, Over 600 frames stacked in registax2d, this planet is right on the limits of the camera hence the bright background. The globe is only 3.7 arcseconds is diameter so I used a 2x apoc Barlow, you can make out the light blue colour of the planet. Its magnitude was 5.7. |
