Uranus Observation (July 24, 2004)

I made an observation of Uranus on July 24, 2004 at 06:00 U.T. (CM 119.0). I noted a faint, dark and diffuse albedo feature over the center of the disk nearly parallel to the equator. The north and south poles of Uranus are noted ((N) and (S), respectively). The arrow at the approximately 06:30 o'clock position indicates the direction of rotation of the globe of Uranus. I welcome any comments on my observation.

The best of luck imaging and observing the planets.

Regards,
Carlos E. Hernandez

Hi Carlos,

Great observation and and redition.

The weather here has not been cooperative, but you have definitely sparked my interest in observing the aqua planet.
