Neptune Nearing Opposition
This is my first shot of Neptune this year and Neptune is in a great place for shooting as it will reach opposition (closest point to Earth this year) on August 26th. I shot this photo at Ladd Observatory in Providence, Rhode Island, USA. Ladd Observatory is open to the public every Tuesday night for free!
