will i see uranus?

[boborange]

As the title implies I was wondering if I could see Uranus tonight?

I have a megrez 72 and live in central London and wondering if I will be able to spot it? I note on Stellarium it will be in the east later this evening and I should have a clear view.

thanks

You should be able to. If You know where to find it. You Might struggle a bit in the moon light though. Also going out to a dark sky location helps a lot. Uranus will look like a greenish star through your scope. You may be able to see a tiny disk if you up the mag a bit.

As Vegaandarctures says, it is going to be tough with that nearly full moon out there, high in the sky above it. Almost exactly a year ago, it made a nice pair with Jupiter, but they have been pulling further and further apart in the interim .

Good luck ! Jim S

To see it as a disk you will need at least x250.
