Movement of #Uranus system over three hours against backdrop of fixed stars (moving about 19 arcseconds). 40 x 50 x 4 sec unfiltered mono in Celestron 8" at f/10.
Time lapse of #Uranus system over three hours. This view is centered on the planet to more clearly show the intrinsic movement of its moons.
If you like moving planets here is one of Saturn
