Neptune + Triton and the Tulip nebula

I had around a 2 hour window last night, so with Neptune close to opposition I thought I'd see if I could pick it up near the star 20 Piscis using my small 60mm refractor with its 0.8 x FR! I was able to see it and processed it to show the largest moon Triton close by. Total exposure was 44 mins of LRGB captured in NINA and processed in Pixinsight and Adobe CS2. Here are both wide field and cropped images and one I annotated in Pixinsight.
