Yes a very unfortunate thread title indeed

Mike, Uranus can be visible to the naked eye under good skies. I personally have spotted it with the naked eye many years ago in the middle of central NSW. Unfortunately most of us have Buckley's theses days, with all the light pollution. But a pair of binos should pick it up in the 'burbs.

After Uranus, go for Neptune, then Pluto (I'm still old school, so I class Pluto as one of the "original nine" planets)
