You should see Uranus pretty easy in your scope. Have you got Stellarium loaded on your computer to help you find it.

It's only 3.6" in diameter so with high enough mag you should resolve it to disk with a green hue to it.

is it pretty easy to find

I find it easy but remember I have 16" of aperture. It takes practise thats all, so the next clear night give it a try.

Have you got Stellarium if so try and star hop to it.
