Still, Uranus is "naked eye" so it looks pretty bright in 7x50 binocs. Neptune's not bad either--I found it easily in 8x24.
Uranus is "naked eye"? Honestly, I didn't know that. My understanding was that the "Outer Planets" (beyond Jupiter?) were "telescopic". Damn, I missed Uranus all these days just because of my misconception?? I oughta kick myself (which I do many a time [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img])

Ok, now tell me how to spot Uranus and Neptune at present. I followed one other thread which explained how/where to spot it. Is it still valid at present time?

Thanks for the info.
