A near-infrared view of the Uranus system.
An image intensifying tube placed at the f/10 Cassegrain focus of an 88-in. reflector telescope was used together with a narrow filter centered at the 8870-A methane band to obtain near-infrared photographs of Uranus and its satellites. Good images of Uranus were obtained with a 1-min exposure, whil...
