I was able to observe Uranus on June 20, 2004 at 06:30 U.T. through my 9-inch F/13.5 Maksutov-Cassegrain.
I believe that I noted faint albedo markings over the disk as well as a bright area.
Limb darkening was noted as well.
I welcome any comments that you my have on this observation.
The best of luck to you and your family. Happy imaging!
