Although you mention seeing it as white disc against jupiter where i saw it as a black dot at 138x magnification.

I saw Uranus the other week it was my first time, featureless but pretty.

Not referring to the shadow, but rather the actual moon was emerging from infront of Jupiter. The moon itself appeared white against the planet's disk. So a pretty cool event

cheers
