Gaz,
I see Uranus more as a greenish grey disk than blue. Neptune is blue/grey. If you haven't found them before the 6th at Kulnura we will help you out. A medium/high power widefield eyepiece helps a lot in finding these when using a dob and starhopping. In your 8" about a 10mm eyepiece for 120X under good conditions (so actual star images are tight), should enable you to differentiate the planetary disks out fairly easily when you find them.
