I found it using the GoTo, first time I've used it. Did a 2 star alignment ( I used Bellatrix and Hamal) then selected Mars and it was fairly close in the finderscope, but not dead on. So then I selected Uranus, and couldn't see anything in the finderscope. (got a new finderscope, 9x50 with illuminated reticle, got sick of not being able to see the cross in the dark). Swapped out the camera for a 5mm eyepiece and Uranus was in the field of view, but near the edge. I centered it, then switched back to the camera- but couldn't get it on screen with the higher magnification. Did that a few times hoping to get lucky, but couldn't get it. I think I need a dark night when I can see it in the finderscope, then I should be able to get it. Also had a look at Neptune while I was at it with the GoTo, but didn't even try to get it on camera. I'll keep trying for Uranus.
