Neptune with Triton on September 19th.

Neptune is a very challenging object for telescopes here on Earth (mainly due to its great distance at 2.7 billion miles.) To put this is terms we can understand, flying in a typical passenger plane at 550mph cruising speed it would take 560 years to get to Neptune!

This night presented some steady conditions which allowed a good image of this distant world, along with its largest moon, Triton. A bright feature is seen on the disk (probably a storm feature.)
