After getting some imagery of Mars and Neptune, I stayed up long enough to get some of Uranus. Neptune is right at the limit of my planetary equipment.

 Neptune |
These planets are so far away (2 and 3 billion miles) and thus so dim that I could only get useful images at 4 frames per second. The atmosphere moves a lot in a quarter of a second, so I ended up throwing away quite a few blurred exposures. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of color evident in each final image.

These copies are zoomed by 4 times to show the color barely detectable in the original images.
