In total we captured 6 images of Neptune on 24th August using the iR610nm filter where a bright spot was clearly revealed - we quickly processed the first capture, detected the spot on the F limb & settled in to capture as many subsequent images as possible. :) I include several of the best single images here, a reversing animation of all 6 iR610nm captures plus another animation showing the spot movement between 2 of the best captures Also a final capture in iR685nm which does appear to display another spot on the F limb as the spot mentioned above begins to approach the P limb... the last iR610 images in the longer animation do seem to hint at this F limb spot as well, although very faintly. The 685 filter does give much better contrast in our opinion but 10 frames per second is a slow frame-rate for sure! :)
