Finally of the bullet list : Image of pluto!

I used a 200mm F4 newton by Robtics with aplanatic corrector. Exposures made with in 2 sets, of 5x60 seconds about 2 hours apart. Camera is an Artemis 4021 that was working at 13 degrees in the "cool" 26 degrees celsius night. Seeing was horrible but that does not take away the fact that we bagged Pluto.

Jarod leparc, a very interested 13 year old joined me in the search.

I hope you can find pluto, blinking away in the center, sort of the way it was found on the discovery plates years ago.

Images made on holiday in the South of France, with thanks to Camping Le Fun, located in Fitou!
