G'day all..
Having trouble locating neptune. I'm definitely looking in the right area,(give or take 1/2 an FOV lol)... just having trouble determining weather the object I'm looking at/suspect to be neptune...is INDEED neptune. I can make out a VERY small disk...unless it's a stars airy-disk....with an object fairly close to it. From my star charts I can't determine if there should be a star of probably half the brightness of (suspected) neptune, close to it. I can see both objects in the same FOV with F/8 6" refractor 6mm ortho EP....Surely this is not >TRITON!<
I suspect It's not neptune I'm seeing, but just a star?
