About this image

This is a combination of two successive videos with the same equipment, the first exposed normally for Neptune and the second overexposed on Neptune to pick up Triton. This was my third attempt over two weeks with the two previous attempts ruined by bouts of thin and then thicker cloud. Even so on this attempt there was some background haze that made it harder than usual to detect Triton. No details detected. The colour image came out far too green as well so I have toned it back a little. I also tried for Uranus but by then the haze was worse so that image has been abandoned!
