Neptune and Triton last night

Took a low power monochrome image of neptune through my 8" LX90 using a lumicon X2.5 reducer with a G star operating at sense up X128 (2.56 sec exposure / frame) . Its rather over exposed for a planetary picture but as you can see the star next to it is of similar brightness . You can see triton as a small bright dot close to the pair.

Nice man. I really like seeing images of Neptune and it's moons and the outer planets, Pluto etc.
