Default Uranus 8/10/2007

Hi all,

This morning, I took this image of Uranus with my Takahashi CN-212, and SBIG ST-402 camera with Meade 2x Apochromatic Barlow. I think this is my best one.

I am thinking of possibly trying to image the rings of Uranus in infrared in a few years when they are not edge on. Does anyone know what their surface brightness is, and if that is even possible with amateur equipment?
