Theoretically it can be seen in perfect conditions with perfect eyesight, but most people would require binoculars to see Uranus. I saw it a few weeks ago, using 7 x 50 binoculars, near the star 60 piscium.

Yes, you can see it through 7 x 50 binoculars as well as a small telescope. The main problem is exactly where to look for it. A good star atlas and a list of positions for the planet over the viewing season are necessary. In 2015 the viewing season is from about the end of July to the end of December.

Yes, you can see Uranus through a telescope, although using most common telescopes what you see will not be very spectacular.You can also see Uranus with the naked eye if the sky is dark enough. But it was through telescopic observations that Sir William Herschel determined with certaintly that it was a planet and not a star or comet.

Yes. It looks like a very faint star. Even through an average telescope, it is impossible to distinguish it from stars. It was discovered by comparing its motion against the background stars.

It can be seen with perfect eyesight when conditions are perfect. Other than that it can be seen with binoculars in ordinary conditions with average eyesight.

Yes. But even in fairly large telescopes, you can't make out any detail because it is so far away.
