Program: GN-2019B-Q-231

A new Neptunian dark spot was discovered with HST in September 2018. This dark spot is named "NDS-2018" for "Northern Dark Spot discovered in 2018." We propose to image NDS-2018 with Alopeke in a variety of blue and red filters to track its drift rate, size, and shape. Due to their small size and low contrast, Neptune's dark spots have only been imaged from space to date. Alopeke is the first ground-based instrument with the resolution and sensitivity required to image a dark spot. A successful program would be a novel achievement, highlighting the capabilities of ground-based instruments.
