Uranus Animation 7/15/2007

This is an animation of 9 frames taken between 3:11 and 4:31 local time on 7/15/2007 with the CN-212 at prime focus, and ST-402 CCD camera. Each exposure was taken exactly 10 minutes apart and was 10 seconds long. The frames are aligned on the stars, so you can see Uranus moving in it's orbit in addition to the moons moving.

The reason Uranus's other moon Miranda cannot be seen is that it was in front of the planet's disc when this was taken.
