Triton Watch Finder Charts

This page contains finder charts for Neptune through the observing season. Each chart is available as a PostScript (PS), Portable Document Format (PDF), or GIF image. We also have a page where you can get lists of the Triton ephemeris.

The field of view for each chart is 15x15 arcminutes. Each image is centered on Neptune's position for the given date; the dates a few arcminutes to either side along the given track are labled. In a few of the first and last images there are two tracks visible - the second, unlabled track is due to the fact that Neptune changes between prograde and retrograde motion at those times (see the first ``Full Track'' image to get an overview of Neptune's motion through the season).

The charts in the ``Charts with Standards'' column shows the same charts, but with the stars we are using as photometric standards indicated with red boxes. This allows observers to see what stars on their images we will be using for the photometric calibrations.
