It seems like it's been forever since I was out under the stars imaging, but managed a pretty good night last night. Will post more later, but for now I'd like to get some confirmation with this image of Uranus.

To the left and right of Uranus (central bright "star") are two fainter points of light. According to Starry Night these are Titania (left) and Oberon (right), can anyone confirm this for me? I'm using a refractor with Canon 300D prime focus so the image will be mirror left and right to planetarium progs. The light point at 6 oclock appears to be stars TYC5813-154-1.

Just checked on CDC. It matches perfectly :thumbsup: , except CDC claims Oberon is on the left and Titania on the right. :shrug:

Could be. I'll check again on Starry night.
