| The Planets Uranus & Neptune |
This image of Neptune, and surrounding objects, was taken with the SXV-H9 on the mewlon,
at native focal length (f/12) on the morning of 6/18/06. Exposure info: L 15X10s, RGB ea
10X10s. The "star" nearest Neptune is its moon Triton, orbiting ~350,000Km from the planet.
The other objects in the photo (>mag 17) did not move relative to their positions on a photo
made a few days earlier, and are probably all stars
