Oberon+Titania+Triton [& our moon!]

[nytecam]

Despite a brilliant gibbous moon tonight - the moons of Uranus [Oberon +Titania] and Neptune's Triton captured in 5sec exposures in the mosaic below together with lunar crater Copericus all to the same scale - our moon in 1ms exps reduced in size - data on image.

Hope they're of interest ;-)

Good post. I always find it amazing that we can see the moons around these far flung planets.

Nice detail on the moon too.

Nice capture Nytecam

Interesting idea to use a well known lunar feature for scale.

I've managed to see Triton, Oberon and Titania visually with my 12" dob. The latter two are a real challenge - right on the limit of what I can see with the scope from my back yard.

Very nice captures.

Very nice foray into these far-flung outposts of little noted satellites! Your comparative scaling with Copernicus is a stroke of genius.

Please to continue -
