Very nice, Geof. Is that a composite with different exposures for the planet and the moons?

Thanks Chris, no not different exposures, but I had to use masked stretching to show the moons, whilst not blowing out Uranus. Of course, there were different captures for the colour data for Uranus itself, but all the detail comes from the IR data.

Regards, Geof
