Neptune shinning at magnitude 7.8 floating through Capricorn over 2 consecutive nights (6/26/98 and 6/27/98) at the ARGO site in central Oregon.

This animation is the composite of two 10 second binned exposures with the 416XT at f/3.3.

On the left is an animation in which Neptune is held steady to show off the Triton's motion. Triton is moving from the 3 o'clock position to the 1 o'clock position and is shining at magnitude 13.5.
