Comments: Uranus a few minutes ago, with a Long Pass 610 nm filter, this time I took a longer capture of 5 min. there were 25,000 frames stacking 5,000. Unlike Jupiter and Saturn, footage can be taken in a time span of several minutes, 10-15 may be a reasonable amount. In fact, Uranus and Neptune are so far from Earth that any detail in the disk before moving by just 0.25 arcseconds takes a good 23 minutes on Uranus and 32 minutes on Neptune! This is a great advantage for the planetary photographer, as the more frames acquired, aligned and summed, the better the signal/noise ratio in the final image. To increase the likelihood of capturing detail, it's good to use a filter that selects the infrared band of the spectrum. In fact, it's at these wavelengths, not the visuals, that Uranus and Neptune show the most detail.
