Thanks Michael and Marc. It is a fun one to do because it's hard to find. What I've found is you need a night with good seeing and a dark sky. Your finderscope needs to be pretty well aligned with your camera. I've got an illuminated reticle which helps against the dark background. I then do a 2-star alignment using Bellatrix and Hamal, and test the GoTo on Mars to see how close it is. Last night it was pretty close. Then try the GoTo on Uranus and you should be able to just see it in the finderscope close to the center of the crosshairs. Then it's just a matter of getting it on the camera.
