Uranus should be visible by naked eye at a dark site but telescopically it is small and can be hard to find. Here's a pic I took a few weeks ago (two pics acutually) to show comparison of size. I will add neptune when the moon is out the way and I get a clear night. Scope is a 180mm mak cassegrain 2700mm fl. Uncropped prime focus.
