Hello everyone, I made a detailed blog about how I captured Neptune & its moon triton with just a phone camera on manual 6 inch dobsonian. Hope it helps if anyone without a astro camera or expensive fancy setup want to try. Here's the link

I tried filming M45 Pleiades In multiple parts for first time ever. First thing I realise is I need alot of storage space first for evenly filming each images.

I'm filming with phone camera on dob so I'm happy with. Current test image,given the fact that these are only stacked with 75 of each images.

My final Upload of Neptune on YouTube ❤️
youtube.com/shorts/7hIkvGrA5q...

this time I pushed my limit too far, these are stacked and processed images of Neptune, second one overexposed autostretch image of Neptune for bringing out triton.
Triton is mag 13.5 too dim to be seen in live view. We can pull it off only during processing or overexposing Neptune.

Video length 1 minute 21 seconds.
EYEPIECE 4mm without barlows- extra layer of lens will make our task hard. 4mm is enough to seperate triton from Neptune.

I pulled of something unexpected honestly. After hours of attempting and capturing neptune. Finally I got a point of light. I was not sure ,so tried processing multiple different videos.(NOTE : triton is very dim 13.5 magnitude,only stacking reveals it's position)

Every single result from different videos had a point of light. A point of light literally made me day beautiful. After carefully stacking and processing I managed to get TRITON!!
