My first Neptune image for the 2018 apparition. Only the disk and color are visible, since the planet is nearly 2.8 billion miles away.
Telescope: Celestron C8
Camera: ZWO ASI224MC at f/25

Really fascinating that you can get an image of something that's so far away! I love that shade of blue!

Neptune has been my favourite planet since I was in Grade 1 . I don't know what it was - Probably the beautiful Blue colour.

Neptune is a lil tougher to find. I have to use a 10x50 finderscope and star chart to locate it among background stars. Being resolved to a disk and its pretty blue color really help it stand out.
