I made an observation of Uranus on August 10, 2004 at 06:00 U.T. (CM 239.0). I noted a dusky to dull (4-5/10) albedo feature across the center of the Uranian disk in a north-south direction. The poles appeared to be brighter (6-7/10) than the rest of the disk. I welcome any comments on my observation. The best of luck with your imaging and observation of the planets.

Regards,
Carlos E. Hernandez

Hi Carlos,

Fantastic observation and rendering. I am glad you're able to share this and have some co-operative sky conditions.
