About this image

Taken just after midnight on the night of 20-21 August and just before cloud rolled in. I've had to brighten Triton or it would have been too faint to see in the image but it was the first time I have been able to capture it without needing separate slower exposures to combine with the Neptune image, an advantage oif a modern more sensitive camera.
