Also, Uranus is easy to find for the next few weeks because it is close to the star of nearly the same magnitude 96-Agr in Aquirius. This is north of the Waterjar at about the same RA.
My eyes are bad and getting worse because of a cataract. I used to just be able to make out Jupiter's moons in the 7X35 binoculars I have, but I can't focus that well now. But after finding out where Uranus was tonight, I could easily distinguish it from the star. They look like an optical double, and for test I looked at Eps-Lyr over in the western sky next to Vega, which I could resolve in the binoculars. I was impressed when my son, who was then 16, said that he could resolve this pair unaided. That is a good vision test.
