View larger. | Helio C. Vital in Saquarema, Brazil caught Uranus onthe night of its opposition, October 19. He wrote: “Captured only 6.5 hours ater its opposition. I used my Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX300 camera at ISO 3200 and 20-sec exposure time to photograph it from Saquarema (Lat:-22.92o, Long.;-42.51o). Thanks, Helio!”

Bottom line: Photos of planet Uranus taken around its October 19, 2017 opposition. At opposition, Uranus is opposite the sun and at its most visible from Earth. It’ll be at its best – barely visible to the eye – for the remainder of 2017.
