"The blue-green planet will be at its closest approach to Earth. This is the best time to view Uranus, although it will only appear as a tiny blue-green dot in all but the most powerful telescopes." - http://www.seasky.org/astronomy/astronomy_calendar_current.html

I have seen it a couple times this summer Matt. The easy way to see it in a dark sky is to use two of the stars in the Pisces circlet as pointers. It is quite bright and obvious at 100X. We probably should show it more at star parties.
