Uranus




Earlier last month Uranus could be seen low in the Southern Sky, trouble is...I can't see it! So I called on the BRT Robotic Telescope to image it for me. You can see Uranus and one of it's moons. Uranus is in the lower left corner.




Tonight is bonfire night, lots of bangs and pops, it's also a full moon shrouded by cloud and smoke. Autumn is here, dark, damp and misty. I'm thinking about buying a Celestron GoTo scope for Christmas. A difficult decision this, will be able to find objects easily with the computer controlled mount but may find imaging disappointing because of the rotation of the Alt- Az mount. I'm wondering if Registax 4 with it's multiple alignment will overcome the imaging problem.
