Venus in UV and IR

Sorry folks here it is.............

Very interesting UV image Dave. any details on how it was done ?

This was my most challenging object so far as the frames are just blobs! Image was stacked in the usual manner in Registax using wvlt settings of 2 and 1 and the filter center vle itself reduced to 20 (default is 50).

Histogram stretched in Photoshop. Then did numerous high pass filter passes layering each one. Curves and histogram stretched then a small gaussian blur to smooth noise. False colour applied using curves in PS.

Nick Howes in the UK was of great assistance during this.

Dave - what filter did you use for the IR?

Dave

It was a Baader IR pass filter. I'm waiting for the Astronomik 807nm IR filter which should be better.
