Equipment

250mm homemade reflector at f/25 with Philips ToUcam pro. 1000 images combined in Registax 6, processed in Adobe Photoshop.

Description

After a long search, I found Uranus in the same high-power field as the star Piscium 44. The planet disc looked green-grey and was larger than 44 Piscium. The star appeared much more of a red-orange color. Defocused image showed very similar brightness for these two objects. Visual appearance was similar to a very bright planetary nebula near a bright star. Very unsusual and beautiful sight!
