Chuck, Unless you're talking about your 1821 observing experiences from your previous lifetime, the last time Uranus and Neptune were even close enough to see in same binocular field-of-view was back in 1993 in Capricornus. Another pairing recollection perhaps? Jupiter and Saturn? Dave On Mar 13, 2012, at 09:29 AM, erikhansen@thebluezone.net wrote:
I remember seeing them 80's as I recall.
Anybody else remember when Uranus and Neptune were in the same telescopic
field-of-view?
When was that...late '70's, early '80's? I wish my old observing logs hadn't been destroyed in an apartment flood way back then. Took all the wind out of my logging sails. :-(
