Discovering Uranus
Sure, finding Uranus is old hat for most of the folks here.
But this season is the first time I've tried it, so it was a fun accomplishment. Aquarius has been lost in skyglow here, so I've been waiting for the sky to darken early enough to catch Aquarius higher in the sky. Last night the east was cloudy but the west was clear. I was able to make out alpha and theta by eye in Aquarius, but lower than that only glow. With 15x35 binoculars I scanned downward, and there it was. A greenish point between two faint stars. Nice. -- Glenn Holliday |
