Details:
I have been able to photograph Uranus and it's major moons several times in the past but for Neptune and its moon Triton it is the first time. I have used several cameras and optical setups to get the tiny and dim planets and they are beautifully colored in blue-green and blue respectively. The planets and their moons are shown in the starfield and also processed individualy from images taken at higher magnifications. The magnitude of the moons are indicated in the pictures and the tiny circle in the lower right corner of the inset pictures indicates the correct size of the planet at that scale. So the 2 pictures are not at the same scale
