Thanks to John Chumack! These images were done from his backyard Observatory in Dayton, Ohio USA, using A DMK 21F04 Fire-wire Camera and 2x Barlow, Optec Filter Wheel, attached to a Meade 10" SCT scope. captured images starting about 2:00am and ran until 4:30 am E.ST. on 07-28-09. Basically 2.5 hours of rotation compressed to about 10 seconds. Way to go, John!!
@benthemiester - I'll ASSume you're serious. You can see the planet Uranus with a 6" scope, but it's basically just a small pale blue dot.

How big of a telescope would I need to see URANUS? Will it require more than six inches?
