Clear Skies On Demand - an astronomy blog Welcome to CSOD, my digital astronomical journal. Hobbies: reading, hiking, birding and backyard astronomy. On Octobre 30 I finally had a chance to observe Uranus. The sketch is made using the 12 inch Dobson from Orion Optics mounted on an Equatorial Platform. I used a 12mm Nagler. The magnification is 133x and the FOV is 37'. The observation and sketch were made from my backyard, between 22:00 and 23:00 local time. The seeing was somehow stable, but the transparency was bad. With the 2x powermate installed I could barely see a hint of green-blue color on the planets disk. there were no details visible. However, it was a very pleasing observation. Uranus really stood out as a little disk from its starry surroundings.
