Uranus is very easy to locate this year, Moon or no Moon. Alpha and Beta Ari will fit in your binocular view. Find them and just move 10° due South to locate Uranus.
Uranus forms a nice arc with 2 other 6th magnitude stars. Uranus is the one in the middle and slightly brighter than the other 2.
This apparition looks very much like the psi Aqr trio! Just a little dimmer.
Uranus is easier prey than Neptune. It's 6 times (600%) brighter.
