Thanks Andrew, Ric, Al & Trevor, for those nice words – I appreciate your comments!
Ric: Starry Night Pro Plus 6 showed the separation of Neptune and Nereid to be 5min 42sec, or 342 arcsec. This is a very useful gap as the long exposures required for Nereid (18.72m) would cause severe blooming of Neptune (7.83m) with my non anti-blooming ccd camera.
Trevor: Yes a great project indeed. Also, from a darker site, the flux of Nereid above background would be better than my Brisbane skies!
Cheers
Dennis
