Thanks for the responses guys. Alex, this 8" F/6 is quick becoming my favourite weapon of choice - takes less than 5 mins to setup and tear down and the optics appear to be excellent. I haven't really observed Neptune yet, the few times I tried seeing was too poor to bother with.
I suppose seeing detail on Uranus is not out of the question, but seeing obviously has to be as perfect as possible, with dark skies and as high mag as practical.
Still surprised to have seen Titania, being mag 14 with a nearly full moon flooding the sky.
Here's a side by side of my field notes and a excerpt from Cartes Du Ciel.
