NAOMI Neptune in H band (1.6 microns). 120-sec integration, using as wavefront reference a star (V~10, top right) which happened to be nearby on the night. Neptune’s diameter is 2.3 arcsec. The clouds are prominent in H band because of a strong methane line at a wavelength close to 1.6 micron. Triton is visible near the bottom of the image (see article by C. R. Benn et al.).
