I always think it looks like a turkey head

Image of the planet Jupiter and its largest moon, Ganymede

More like one now I think.
For perspective, this is Jupiter with Ganymede, its largest moon, which is about 42% of the diameter of Earth. The red spot is obviously foreshortened a bit here, but still gives a fair sense of scale.

Anything?

In the meantime, you can get Neptune and Triton with the SeeStar similar to your Uranus image. I’ve seen it done a few times.

Image of Neptune and its largest moon, Triton

Yes, a lot of people do composite images for this. It is probably possible to do it in one go, but only with considerably more aperture.
Interestingly, Neptune and Triton are easier, as the difference in brightness is not as great. Neptune is dimmer than Uranus, but Triton is brighter than Titania

Thanks! It’s also at the same scale, so it shows how much bigger the overexposure makes it appear.

Properly exposed image of the planet Uranus, seen as a very small, pale belt disc.

Thanks, this is with an 8” f/6 Newtonian with 3x Barlow, and ZWO ASI224mc planetary cam, stacked from best frames of video capture.
Here’s Uranus properly exposed:

Overexposed image of the planet Uranus, with four of its moons and a dim star

I managed to get four the other night (fifth object is a background star)

What’s cool to see is that these are not the stars we are seeing Uranus amongst here on earth

Yup, and you know what that means?
Uranus is in retrograde 😜

Star map showing the Pleiades and Uranus. If you are listening to this on text to voice, I mean the planet.

The two stars just west of it, 13 and 14 Tauri, make it pretty easy to locate just south of the Pleiades

And my morning word puzzles! 😭

Image of a comet in space, seen as a small green hazy spot with a bright center, against a black background with many smaller stars.

Looks like a comet to me

Image of a spiral galaxy in space

Messier 74, the Phantom #Galaxy. 100 billion stars, 85,000 light years across, 32 million light years away. A large portion of our own galaxy is between it and us, so there is a lot of dust in the way, making difficult to see, hence the name.

Moving slow and trying not to break things?

Thanks!

If you admit that maybe we should cut her some slack on this, she will still be a Zionist pig.

It’s a fun area to browse around with binoculars or a telescope at low magnification

Really cool to see the movement of the tail. That’s about 100,000 kilometers of it in frame, and this is a half hour in 2 minute segments.
Solar wind not messing around.

Also the moon will be back on the side of the sky, getting brighter as well

Ok but in case you haven’t noticed the government is also a rich racist weirdo

All coprolites are past turds

That has been my experience as well

Each number is roughly 2.512 times brighter/dimmer than the one lower/higher than it, so that a difference of five magnitudes is 100 times.
I believe the reference for zero magnitude is Vega, or at least it once was.

It’s what you get when you let scientists do things

Sorry, brain fart
