I used my 70-300 lens on 70mm, pushed the iso up to 1600 and took some 10 sec exposures pointing it in the general direction of Neptune. Then using Stellarium I identified the position of Neptune. The image here is heavily cropped and I've adjusted the curves quite a bit to make Neptune more prominant.

Cheers,
