We successfully imaged the planet Uranus back on 2021Jan24.
\nAt that time, an out of focus image helped to identify the planet showing a greenish cast. The most recent image was infocus, as we were pretty sure how to identify Uranus.<\/p>\n

For planets, it is always a good idea to revisit them a few days later to ensure a positive ID by their movement across the background of stars.
\nThis is an image from 2021Feb03, 10 days later.
\nI have also discovered that Irfanview can annotate circles onto the image, as wel las text annotations.<\/p>\n

This is a 30 second exposure with a Canon T7i with a 75-300mm zoom lens at 75mm f4, 1600 ISO, on a tripod, with a 2 second timer.<\/p>\n

Below is a closeup of Uranus in the two images.<\/p>\n\n\n
