At ~2.6 light hours away, 19.78 A.U. distance (~1.8 billion miles away) and 3.6 arc seconds in diameter, here's tiny afocal Uranus from last November

This time I used 1818 frames from the Canon, so I think at least the color is pretty good. Only pushed 0.6 of 1 wavelets slider on Registax 5, re-sized up 1.5x and cropped.
