Uranus, Titania, Oberon and Umbria

I was awake at about 4:30 this morning and the sky was clear so I thought I might have a go at getting Uranus' moons. Miranda and Ariel were too close to the planet's glare. The glare depicts the planet's true colour hue.

Thanks for looking,

Tom

Always good to get this one and Miranda is impossible to get but thats still a good trawl of moons. Through an eyepiece Uranus is strikingly green like you showed here.

John.

Well done Tom, Uranus & Neptune don't get all that much attention.

Regards
Trevor

Thanks for all the comments. John, I'd agree about Miranda - it seems it will never get far enough away from the glare for my setup.
Attached is a raw frame from my video (manually tracked):
