Uranus

Full-size Image
I remember the first time I saw Uranus through the eyepiece. I had been unsuccessfully chasing it for a year with my old Newtonian non GOTO scope and could never find it. One of the first things I did when I got the SCT was slew over to Uranus and was so amazed to see the tiny blue disc in my eyepiece. I quickly called over to my girlfriend to see it. She wasn't as excited as I was. I quickly attached my DSLR to the scope and was able to capture the disc that night and to my surprise later that evening as I was reviewing my photo, some of its moons.

Since then, the best shot I have gotten of Uranus which is about 1.7313 billion miles away has been this fuzzy shot during its Opposition in 2023.
