急に晴れてきたので急いで用意して撮像。
シーイングが悪くてIR-90では模様が出なかった。
U-340はエドモンドのものですがDR-655と合わせて使用。

Paolo R. Lazzarotti (250mm Newton)
Here's my first attempt in using the Baader Ca filter (thanks for the loan!) to detect Venus clouds.
This filter (395nm,just 8nm bandpass) delivered a sharper and steadier live image than any else UV pass filter I used so far!
Same shutter and gain levels as before.
The contrast was a tad lower but this is can be fairly compensated by a larger UM or wavelet.
