Neptune 2020
UTC
First time going after Neptune with the C14 and first light with a Baader Red filter, which allows more infrared light through than the 685nm filter. I cut my time with the ice giant short to have enough time for Mars.
Notes:
- Much of the southern hemisphere may be brighter than the rest of the planet.
UTC
Variable conditions made it harder to image Neptune compared to a couple night earlier.
UTC
Good seeing while I imaged Neptune. Triton is near the 4:00 position relative to the planet.
UTC
Decent seeing on this night.
First light with my new ASI462MC. This was used without the Atmospheric Dispersion corrector since I couldn't figure out how to make it fit in the existing imaging train.

Decent seeing on this night.
First light with my new ASI462MC. This camera is more sensitive than the ASI290MM, especially in near-infrared wavelengths.
UTC
Great seeing during the time with Neptune. The southern hemisphere appears bright. I tried both the 610nm and 685nm near-infrared filters to see how their results compare.
