About this image

I've been trying for a long time both to capture Miranda, the moon that is usually too close to Uranus to pick out clearly from its glow and also to try to see a hint of features in Uranus's atmosphere. A clear night and good angle helped me achieve both aims. By taking slow infrared images and stacking just the very best there does appear to be a hint of features in the image right hand image.
