uRaNuS

I only tried collecting data twice on Uranus.  The first time I tried in Firecapture with RGB filters and the video looked awful.   On 10/4/2020 around 4 am, there was some predicted excellent seeing so instead of shooting Mars late as it dropped into western skies, I turned the scope to Uranus.   



Not much detail except for a darkening trend to the upper right.  When I stretched the image, there is also a hint of a band that demarcates the darker area from the light area.  But it's such a faint band that it could be confused for noise.   

This is a 2 min exposure through the QHY 462C, TV 2x barlow, C11.  In theory I could derotate this in WinJupos as I took 7 sets.   But I don't know...
