good stuff Ben! would you please consider starting a thread/posting. I (and probably others) would be interested in reading your step by step guide, i reckon it'd be a huge buzz to make a discovery - provisional or confirmed. I guess they are like Australia, it was there long before Hartog, Cook et al. so we are documenting them into our knowledge base, still a buzz and useful!

i dunno how small a 'scope could see Triton, its mag 13.5 which i'd bet is brighter than the stuff you've caught (by camera?). probably depends more on darkness/seeing. i looked at the planets last night from Turner in inner Canberra, they had certainly separated and i couldn't see Triton in my 16". Venus and Moon were a very eye catching pairing.

i was clouded out on the 2nd - 'constellation' prize was a most awesome 360 degrees sunset that went on n on
