Neptune from Voyager 2. Color is from images with CH4JS, green and orange filter.
Shadows of three moons are visible. Second image is with possible interpretation. -------------------- |

Working with some of my eclipse calculations from a few years back - I wanted to see if there were any interesting color sets of shadow transits at moderate resolution. I did find a decent set involving Despina's shadow early on August 24 through the WAC. Neptune itself is an OGV natural color image, but I have composited in the moons from several separate images. All three moons visible within this image are brightened by about 10x. (Naiad and Thalassa should both be theoretically visible but were below the detection limits with this exposure setting.)
