Not sure it would be Uranus if you saw 5 moons Tammy. More likely to be Jupiter if you saw that many, and one would most likely be a background star. Uranus would appear at a very small greenish disc.
The Five brightest moons of Uranus are from mag 14 to 16 and would need a fair bit of luck, good conditions and aperture to see.
