Looking at world wide telescope - the actual conjunction time (same RA) is about 12:20am Saturday morning, when Uranus will be 4 degrees south of the moon. The position of Uranus will be RA 0h 41m 46s, Dec 03:42:06.
It will be about half a degree closer at about 8:30PM Friday night, but not quite in conjunction.
Uranus is easy to see, even in a finder scope, but tricky to find - it isn't near any bright stars currently.
For those who do not know the program - World Wide Telescope is free and gives a photographic view of the sky - it is very good for searching for DSOs etc.
Regards,
Tony.
