So the answer is YES, but with difficulty.
I will try again to see if I can convince my self. A little more dark adapting and a stool for a comfortable and steady view.

Rob have you managed to spot any of the moons yourself?

No. On the occasions I've looked at Uranus, I've not thought to look for the larger moons, which are about 14th magnitude. Your thread has set up a not so easy challenge for us.
