New and improved v2 video, colour images added and false colour applied to Uranus and Neptune. Planets are recorded with a ToUcam or SPC900 webcam, the images were stacked in Registax. Not all these videos were my own, however the processing is all 'in house' by me. This is what you would expect to observe with a modest sized telescope. The Sun is in H-alpha and you should NEVER look at the Sun without the right gear.

Music is the original Halo Theme, credit goes to the composers listed on the right of this description.

  • Can you please please do another give away of telescope please? Yesturday I was very very disapointed when my 114mm telescope failed to show me Orion better than a 70mm telescope I mean by telescope showed Orion like a pin point star. Please please

  • @FsimulatorX I doubt we will give away another telescope but we are raffling a JTW Messier off for charity. Check our website or facebook for the details.

  • This is BS

  • @MoacirFB What makes you say that?

  • Of course the one image not taken through an amateur telescope was of the Earth itself - point that downwards and there is an unintersting view of a few inches of earth (lower case 'e'). Otherwise great pictures. i wonder, when Venus is in fuller view, is there any sense of colour or banding seen in its atmoshpere or is it a homogenous disc ?

  • @bi1iruben If you take a look at the website of Emil Kraaikamp there are some great shots including the atmosphere.

see all
