Can You See What It Is Yet?

This is my first ever shot of Uranus - that's pronounced 'Your-an-us' to avoid any lewd jokes. 

Can you even see it?


Uranus is an Ice Giant planet and nearly four times larger than Earth. It has 27 known moons, most of which are named after literary characters. Like Saturn, Jupiter and Neptune, Uranus is a ringed planet.

It really is beyond the limits of my current equipment to get a shot any better than this, but it's still pleasing to be able to photograph it as it brings my total of planets photographed to six: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. And all within a single year.
