A beautiful image of a blue-green Neptune in Aquarius. If you look right under Neptune, you will see a bulge. That is Triton

    Triton is the largest moon of Neptune. I was not expecting to be able to see its bulge, but zooming in, it certainly is there. Another one of its moons would be in the picture, but it is too small for me to be able to identify with any certainty
