First Time Sighting Neptune and Uranus

With the current slim planetary pickings I spent some quality time with Uranus (right next to Lambda Aquarii) and Neptune (a pretty barren field near 29 Capricorni) myself last night. While I couldn't verify it myself, Mars and Uranus are the same apparent size at the moment (3.6"). Other targets included M2, M11, M13, M15, M27, M57, Albireo and Epsilon Lyrae. The Pleiades were just clearing the trees as I was heading back in to the house, and a streetlight was clobbering M31. No joy on M16 or anything else in that part of the sky thanks to clouds and trees. Laura Halliday VE7LDH "That's a totally illegal, Grid: CN89mg madcap scheme. I like it!"
