Description
A series of images over 3 days at midnight were combined to show movement of the planet. I located Pluto by taking several images of an area of the sky where it is suposed to be. It got cloudy and a couple of days later when it cleared I imaged the same area and noticed Pluto in the first frame. Then I aquired images over the next 2 days. The dificulty was that Pluto is not visable at this location inside the city with my C-8 @f/6.3 and using manual setting circles is not very accurate to place the planet on my ST-5C chip. Images are 3x3min.
