I don't know whether this has ever been reported in the forum.
During E18, in December 1998, Galileo took some camera calibration pictures of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. This is one of the clearest views of Saturn (untreated "raw" image).

It turns out Uranus was not difficult to find in E18 pictures, because they were taken while the camera was slewing.



I still can't find Neptune however
