Had a go at this tonight about 6.30-7pm tea time, been on full power with mak 276x still could not see Uranus ( no **** jokes please!!) i suspect Venus is masking it, very cold out tonight freezing temps, could not stand out for long tonight even though i was rapped up!! moon was very big and bright Wednesday, coming up in east. i have now retired to the warm house!!

It's all a question of "good seeing" isn't it? I was unable to go that night due to clouds. I'm sorry that you couldn't see Uranus but I have to say that even with high magnification,.. it is unimpressive. I found it and it was nice to know that I had "captured" it. It is quite difficult but don't give up!

Seeing colour (if you see it) is the best one can do with Uranus. Like locating an asteroid,.. it's simply the fun of the "chase".
