I was able to observe Uranus on June 20, 2004 at 06:30 U.T. through my 9-inch F/13.5 Maksutov-Cassegrain. I believe that I noted faint albedo markings over the disk as well as a bright area. Limb darkening was noted as well. I welcome any comments that you my have on this observation.

The best of luck in your own observations.

Beautiful! As usual the detail in your sketches has presented yet another challenge for me at the EP. Excellent observation.
