In early January we see Uranus moving eastwards in prograde motion through Pisces,
along with a view of Mira, ο Ceti, near maximum. In this image Mira
is almost exactly as bright as Menkar, or α Ceti. Uranus is slightly
dimmer than at opposition last fall, now checking in at magnitud +5.78 and 3.55"
in diameter.
