Thanks for the encouragement Troy! I think that Miranda may appear “fainter” than its 16.55 mag suggests, as the brightness is “spread” over the disc whereas for a star, it’s a pin point value. I am beginning to suspect that I have a bigger challenge on my hands that I originally thought, with just 7 inches of aperture. Greatest elongation would definitely be the time to try again.

Cheers

Dennis
