Neptune

Posted By Pat Passalacqua

Hello All
Just posted my first effort at Neptune. My imaging partner,Don Yacco, and i took it on the evening of the 12th of September. Image was a stack of 298 frames of 1100. Used a Meade 16" LX-200 at prime focus. Its low placement on the horizon makes it very difficult to use higher magnification in this scope.
Hope you enjoy, and comments are always welcome.
Regards
Pat
