We had good seeing conditions and clear skies for a while on the night of 06 -07 November. I made the attached observation of Uranus- also included is a drawing of the satellites as observed. The colour of the planet was quite striking- the northern polar region was brighter than the rest of the disk. There seems to be a greyish band (perhaps a polar band?) At times I had the impression of a slightly brighter region near to the band towards the bottom of the disk. Of course the disk size is very small so I am far from certain if this was a real effect or not!
