About this image

Two sets of images of Uranus in colour and low infrared from 20th and 23rd and an image of Uranus with the five main moons, I've replaced the over-exposed Uranus for the moons with a normally exposed Uranus image from the same kit the same evening. The lighter shading of the hemisphere gradually rotating towards us is apparent with the infrared images.
