Movie of the telescope imager as it focused on Uranus (VIDEO)

University of Leicester

Caption

Condensed movie of the telescope imager (on the 5th September 2006) as it focused on Uranus, with moons Titania, Miranda, Umbriel and Oberon visible. There is a double exposure of all objects in the movie, which is an effect of subtracting images to minimise the effect of Earth's atmosphere as we look up into the sky. We also see possible galaxies and stars in this movie!
