Despite not big aperture of my telescope, I tried to shot Uranus confident in opposition and quite good seeing. 
I obtained a number of videos in which the polar bright region and dark belts are visibile; rotating the camera,
these features rotated with planet, their disposition is compatible with polar axis so I incline to believe they represent real details. 
Maybe the edge of the belt is a little irreguar compared to best Uranus images captured by amateur telescopes; nevertheless,
I thought it was almost impossibile to catch something on Uranus with a C8 and  I am quite happy with these results.


Animation shows the rotation of 4 of main Uranus satellites, in approximately 3 hours.


As outlined in my previous report, it seems there is an irregularity on the equatorial belt of the planet that could be a real feature.
