Last night I observed Jupiter and Uranus under good seeing conditions (for once).
Uranus was lovely, I got a little mesmerised by it in fact and transferred my attention to Jupiter a bit late for the CM transit of the GRS.
Uranus: It took about half an hour to confirm these details, slewing to a nearby star of similar magnitude to check focus a couple of times; I saw a darker following hemisphere, a brighter EZ which appeared curved, and a brighter proceeding polar region.all pretty tricky stuff to be sure of but I took care to be certain it was not made up.
Jupiter was lovely and even appeared like a crisply processed webcam shot for a fleeting second, too fleeting to take in sadly.
The southern tropical area was well seen with a few belts and zones, and happily three small white ovals glimpsed in the best moments.
The rift in the SEB is twisted around the GRS nicely and appeared really quite wide.
I noted a normal dark barge in the NEB and also a paler orange one just rising onto the disc.
The northern tropical region was very pale and bland, more so than of late I think.
