Ring Nebula with central star very bright.
Dumbbell Nebula. Always interesting to see how many stars can be seen "through" it.
Planet Neptune and large moon Triton.
Triton slightly smaller than our moon and slightly closer to Neptune than our moon to Earth.
Neptune 4 times larger than Earth and 2.7 billion miles away.
From Neptune, Earth/Moon would appear similar to this view except Earth would appear smaller and dimmer. All on the side of the garage.
