Seen Uranus and Neptune - first time :)

[kirkster501]

A bit lost in the murk but definitely saw them through the 9.25 SCT this evening before the cloud rolled in.  Very small disk in Uranus and Neptune looked like a "strange" star.  Could not see any of the moons though.  Hoping for many more viewings under better skies!  Strangely I have seen Pluto in the 12"Dob before seeing Uranus and Neptune......

Happy, happy!

Nice one, If you look at 5.30pm tomorrow night the moon is only 0.3 degrees above uranus which makes it an easy find.
