Hello,
Recently, I’ve been chasing Miranda, a fainter moon of Uranus with a magnitude of 16.55 according to Starry Night Pro.
Previously I had managed to record the 4 brighter moons, Titania, Oberon, Ariel and Umbriel. I can usually record these moons when they are suitably placed in terms of their apparent separation (7 or 8 arcsecs) from the glaring disc of Uranus.
Oct 23rd had Miranda some 8 arcsecs from the disc but unfortunately, I didn’t manage to record this fainter of the 5 moons, despite recording stars down to 17.8 magnitude. However, it was a fun project and good practice for the next time!
Cheers
Dennis
