Stanislas Maksymowicz (280mm,230mm cassegrain or 200mm VMC or 150mm refracter)
I did some verification on neptune〓on 1st sept.〓evening with here
the 150mm refractor under 300 and 400x magnification at 22H00UT.
I would say a bright dot seemed at the CM near the p〓le seemsly.
Images were unusually stable for the planet elevation 30°
(CM122°) images quoted 7/10 on a m6 star close to.

Robert Schulz (320mm Newtonian or 203mm SC)
Here are my results of planet Neptune recorded during my visit of the IAS observatory in Namibia earlier this year.
Please beware that some detail is just noise.
I think that the brighter spot in the northern hemisphere in the Aug.30 images (red filter) is real.
IR images in contrast have less SNR, but I included them also for reference.
