Neptune+Triton & Uranus' moons

Both planets are wellplaced in the early evening to the south - here my quick 5sec shots from last night. 

A 'star' close to Neptune is invariably Triton.  Uranus has four 'brightish' moons.  I use Cartes du Ciel to ID them. The planets are glossly over-exposed :police:

I should imagine these were difficult to capture, Anyone know the magnitudes of the Moons, I have to try them from here without a camera.

Alan - Jackpot!

I looked for a reference to the magnitudes of the Moons of all the planets, and, finally, Pay-Off!

Phew! Now I see why you couldn't find them. I suggest bookmarking this site.

Clear & Dark Skies,
