Uranus
Taken on 27 Aug 2017 at 23.22 UTC with ZWO ASI224 MC Camera and Celestron NexStar 6 SE Telescope, using SharpCap.
Processed twice in AS!2, Registax (wavelets) and PS CC. Right is the normal image, left is wavelets sharped. Both enlarged in inset. The sharpened image appears to show cloud bands revolving around its south pole, but it could be telescope/camera artifact.
Uranus is an ice giant and is the 7th major planet from the Sun. Uranus' beautiful cyan colour is due to methane in its atmosphere. The planet often appears uniform, but does occasionally have major convective storms. It also has a faint ring system.
