Hi Albert,
Uranus with the naked eye, thats some going,
I was out observing Mars last week and had a nice look at Uranus and Neptune, colour clearly seen.
They were both visible as disks, neptune been half the size of Uranus, the former having a dark blue colour while Uranus had a blue/green (almost aqua-marine) colour (at 310x).
I felt real lucky and went for pluto. I couldn't see it at first so I got the laptop out with starry night pro, once the program told me EXACTLY where it was , I was just about able to see it/not see it with averted vision (kept coming and going), thats a first for me, after 15 years.
Has anyone seen any of the moon of Uranus or Neptune ???
