This frame was from a test sequence to capture Triton, which will occult a 12.5 mag star on Oct 05, 2345 UT. The test was successful but I will be trying other options as well. The two stars are incidental and form a nice line with the planet at the time the exposure was taken. The brighter one is mag 10.6. Triton is mag 13.5. Neptune is mag 7.8 ( blotted saturated image)
