Triton imaged from Brisbane
Hi
The weather hasn’t been too good for a solid session of imaging, so last night, I thought I’d slew to Neptune and have a gander. Well, after a 10 sec exposure (at prime focus) I was surprised to see a bright object to the right, where The Sky Pro V6 did not show any stars!
I then had a look at Starry Night Pro V5 and lo and behold, I had captured an image of Triton, at magnitude 13.5.
I slipped the TeleVue x2.5 Powermate in and took another exposure of 10 secs just before the clouds came and imaging halted for the night.
The distance between Neptune and Triton is approx 14 arc seconds.
Cheers
Dennis
