apollo astronauts train for recovery operations at sea
This was shot from Roswell New Mexico using a canon 6D, rokinon 135mm, and star adventurer. I captured about 30x30" frames during the deepest part of the eclipse and stacked them here. All of the data for m45 and the faint nebula was acquired during the eclipse, no compositing from other images here!
Neptune is dark, cold, and very windy. It's the last of the planets in our solar system. It's more than 30 times as far from the sun as Earth is. Neptune is very similar to Uranus. It's made of a thick fog of water, ammonia, and methane over an Earth-sized solid center. Its atmosphere is made of hydrogen, helium, and methane. The methane gives Neptune the same blue color as Uranus. Neptune has six rings, but they're very hard to see
