Uranus moons x 4

Another disappointing night out last night. Moonlight, clouds and equipment issues colluded to thwart my efforts. I got Mars framed and nicely focused in Firecapture. It looked very promising but then Firecapture refused to record and frames. 

Ok, I'll look for the moons of Uranus. Between clouds I got 20 x 10 seconds, hoping to get deep enough to pick out Miranda without swamping it with an over exposed Uranus.

I scored 4 out of 5 moons. Miranda hasn't made the final cut. It's mag 16 and lost in the glare.

Wow that's a great capture!  I wonder if EKOS can show detail to that level as Stellarium in terms of FOV & objects...

Thanks!

From what I see KStars doesn't show any satellites for any of the planets but it does render photo realistic planets!
