Description

Uranus in RGB with 2 moons showing up in the final image. Moon Titania is at the 2 o'clock position and Oberon is at 6 o'clock.

The 2 specks of light at 9:00 and 10:00 are not moons but distant stars.

Before stacking the subs, I was able to resolve 4 moons that also included Umbriel, also at 6 o'clock in an orbit inside Oberon, and Ariel at 8 o'clock. I was surprised to see the 4 moons show up in my subs taken with my refractor without using a barlow. See Original for a raw red channel sub with the 4 moons.

Thanks, Eddie
