Dear All

Uranus is now well placed for observations during the
pre mid-night sky.

Ephemeris of Uranus are given below for next month or so.

And two pdf maps are attached with this mail

As you can see the planet is moving towards phi (96) Aquarius
which is 5.58 mag star just a bit brighter than the planet.

A good chance for young ones to follow the motion of a planet.

On map 2 the faintest star is mag 10
