Scientific paper

Charge-coupled device images of Uranus and Neptune taken in the 8900-Å absorption band of methane are presented. The images have been digitally processed by means of nonlinear deconvolution techniques to partially remove the effects of atmospheric seeing. The restored Uranus images show strong limb brightening consistent with previous observations and theoretical models of the planet's atmosphere. The computer-processed images of Neptune show discrete cloud features similar to those reported previously by B. A. Smith et al. (1979). A time series of the restored Neptune images shows a continuous variation which may be due to the planet's rotation.
