Description

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. The 610nm filter allows more light to reach the camera, but the 685nm filter generally shows more contrast on the ice giants.
