Here is a new image of Neptune from last night. Some brightening is caught as usual on the south hemisphere,one being more conspicuous.
Seeing was excellent but with passing clouds and only one image could be secured. The night ambience was fantastic,very quiet and steady,with the moonlight reflecting on floating ghost clouds in the valley and around the italian Viso mount

Attached find a Neptune image I captured on 1 September 2015. Transparancy was fine. The seeing was not good, but compared to the other night there was a slight improvement. This time I used a 742 nm long pass filter..The total exposure time was 15 minutes with an average time of 21.56 UT.
