Uranus.

SPC900 Webcam on Celestron C11 with x2 Barlow.  180 sec of AVI at 5 frames/sec.
Best 500 frames stacked in Registax then deconvolved.

Thats just how it looked in France, now I'm looking to see you get detail out of that

No chance

It's a pretty faint planet this - more or less at the limits of the webcam because of noise.  I gave it exactly the same colour balance as the Jupiter image so I reckon the stunning colour is about right.

BTW, the EQ6 hand controller had the wrong RA & Dec for Uranus so it ended up well outside the FOV.  I had to look it up on the Planetarium software to get its correct coords.

Can you update the EQ6 with new ephemerides? I ask because having just landed a new job I am in the market for a 'proper' mount. (New thread in the offing methinks.)

Dunno. 
The handset firmware can be updated - maybe that will do the trick.
