The planet Uranus approaches the limits of naked-eye observing at mag
5.7 visibility. A finder chart helped pinpoint it, but it really was the
greenish-blues that said "this is it!". This was digitally enhanced, but
only to concentrate on enlarging the planet's image and hilighting it;
on the print, it's only about 1/8" big.
