spent a couple of hours trying to see uranus tonight...no luck. I know where its supposed (ish )to be but can't find it or my elbow...lots of clouds and clear moments interrupting my viewing so i go back to computer and try another asterism to guide me...found it hard to find Pices with all the cloud (that's my excuse)...better luck (preparation) tommorrow. don't know what to expect other than a green looking star, must have "seen" it but didn't regognise it as such. Jupiter's good though, and the moon of course...I compared my apo barlow and meade swa in 3x mode (x140ish) on moon it was a lot better than than my 6mm (x166) its in the light transmission that it wins hands down...upgrade time...mars is around at around 4am I really should go to bed though...
