Uranus and moons. First successful attempt to display Uranus' Moons, as my previous attempts with the Nikon or NexImage failed. Otherwise not a particularly good moment to take the shot or display as many moons as possible. Also unguided Alt-Az Shot. Miranda and Ariel are not seen as they're in front of Uranus. Mag: Umbriel: 15.16, Uranus: 5.88, Oberon: 14.29, Titania: 14.09. Distance: 20.4915 AU
