Observations of object "Uranus":

Uranus (Planet, est. mag 5.8)
Observer: Michael Amato (e-mail: abigmick@aol.com)
Instrument: 127-mm other   Location: West Haven, Connecticut, United States
Light pollution: moderate   Transparency: fair   Seeing: fair
Time: Sat Oct 2 00:15:00 2021 UT   Obs. no.: 2300

This evening, my brother Anthony & I viewed five planets in one night of observing. We first observed Saturn & we were able to see the Cassini Division & Titan & Rhea. With Jupiter, all four moons were out with two moons on either side of Jupiter. Four belts were in plain view with the red spot just rotating on Jupiter's face. Venus is now a waning crescent & really looking good. Both Neptune & Uranus, were small bluish orbs with Uranus being more blue than Neptune. We also viewed some open clusters, double stars & M31 The Andromeda Galaxy.

Time: Tue Oct 15 03:45:00 2019 UT   Obs. no.: 2121

This evening, I observed the close encounter between the moon & Uranus with my 10X50 binoculars. Uranus was about three degrees to the upper right of the moon. That was my first ever observation of Uranus & the moon together in the sky.

Uranus (Planet, est. mag 5.9, est. to be in Pisces)
Observer: Michael Amato (e-mail: abigmick@aol.com)
Instrument: 50-mm binoculars   Location: West Haven, Connecticut, United States
Light pollution: moderate   Transparency: good   Seeing: fair
Time: Mon Feb 27 00:00:00 2017 UT   Obs. no.: 1999

This evening, my brother Anthony, my friend Joe & I observed the conjunction of Mars & Uranus in the western sky, with Venus also being nearby. It was a great grouping of all three planets.

Yet another "first" for the new scope. My observable limit of the solar system was literally doubled this weekend as I had the pleasure of viewing and imaging the planet Uranus. It is currently located 2x as far from Earth as Saturn is. This makes Uranus a whopping 19.28 AU (astronomical units) from Earth, or 1.793 BILLION miles away. It is currently only 3.7 arc-seconds which is very small. The most amazing thing is that, by ultra-processing the image, I believe I also imaged Titania, which is Uranus' largest satellite. Titania is magnitude 13.73 and is almost at the observable limit of my telescope. I did not know I had picked up the moon (as well as a possible 2 others) until I processed the image. Titania measures 1,578 km or just under 900 miles in diameter. It orbits Uranus at 435,800 km from the planet which is almost identical to Earth's own moon's distance.I have posted images on my website.

This was an easy shot. Showed a blue-green disc at high power. Something like a planetary nebula. It was present in the centre of a small triangle formed by 3 stars.

Instrument: 10-inch Dobsonian reflector   Location: West Haven, Connecticut, United States

Time: Mon Aug 30 01:00:00 2004 UT   Obs. no.: 1057

Tonight, My friends, Steve Borer, Mike and Kathy Dzubaty and I observed Uranus with Steve's 10" dob. We could see no features on the disc. The color of the disc was a bluish green with the emphasis on the green.

Uranus (Planet, est. mag 5.7)
Observer: Michael Amato (e-mail: abigmick@aol.com)
Instrument: 6-inch Dobsonian reflector   Location: West Haven, Connecticut, United States
Light pollution: moderate   Transparency: fair   Seeing: good
Time: Wed Jul 9 06:50:00 2003 UT   Obs. no.: 832

Early this morning, I decided to Check out Uranus at 200X before I moved my scope to Mars. Uranus' disk showed very well. The planet looked bluish grey in my scope, with grey showing more than the blue.

Uranus (Planet)
Observer: Paul (e-mail: paul_ohstbucks@msn.com)
Instrument: 12.5-inch Dobsonian reflector   Location: Lee's Summit, MO, USA
Light pollution: moderate   Transparency: excellent   Seeing: excellent
Time: Sun Oct 6 04:00:00 2002 UT   Obs. no.: 702

Well, I got the location off the sky chart on the sky & telescope website and figured I would check it out. It was actually easy to find in Capricornus. Seeing was excellent so I viewed Uranus 314x. The color was a beautiful aqua green. There were a couple faint stars in the FOV and I was trying to make out which might be moons. I didn't do my homework before hand or follow up with subsequent obversations, so I was unable to determine which (if any) of the moons were observed. Titania is about 13.7mag and Oberon is closer to 14mag. Paul

Uranus (Planet, est. to be in Capricornus)
Observer: Dave Mitsky (e-mail: djm28@psu.edu)
Instrument: 51-cm equatorial reflector   Location: Harrisburg, Pa, U.S.A.
Light pollution: light   Transparency: good   Seeing: good
Time: Sat Aug 30 04:00:00 1997 UT   Obs. no.: 219

I was able to see 2 of the moons of Uranus for the first time! At magnifications of 302 and 499x the moons appeared as very faint points of light.
