Uranus 13 September 2020

Even though its tiny compared to Mars, Uranus is still well worth taking a look at. It's not far from Mars either, so it's a good opportunity to catch a glimpse  If you sweep eastward at around 50X it will appear as distinctly none stellar.

Not much to look at, but definitely very round! 😊  Sorry the subtle colour didn't show up in the image as it does on paper. I'll try harder next time and may be ill get three 10's. 😂  THANKS! ☺

The jury liked it too. They're also round.

Funnily enough, i had a peek @ Uranus last night also.

That's the first time in a few years.

I'm not dedicated enough to sketch it though, so full credit for that Mike.

Yes,it's a decidedly odd looking "star" at 50x, which does aid locating it somewhat for those of us still stuck in the last century.

Then  I bumped up to 160x for a more convincing disc~which was all seeing would allow at my location.

Great sketch of a beautiful planet.

I really enjoy Uranus, The beautiful crisp Green disc crossing the FOV is a joy to see.

This is one thing that always strikes me when viewing Uranus, It seems perfectly spherical more so than the other planets.
