Nexus 6 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 I see the ice giant was a topic of discussion on The Sky at Night, anyone managed a look at it recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charon Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I wish Alan, this is the reason I went with this size of scope. But either it has been cloudy or my back has been playing up I have not managed (yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael.h.f.wilkinson Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 In my garden it is lurking behind trees, so I have to go somewhere with clearer horizons to see it. When I get to those places I generally search for DSOs more than planets. I should give it a look again some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Crispy Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I haven't seen it for about a month. Tbh its one of those that I wouldn't observe often as even at high magnification (250x), you can barely see a disc. Its nice to know you have seen it, but not much more. I haven;t seen Triton though, so maybe that will provide some motivation to look for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
