Hello Grant and welcome to IIS, it is a great forum with lots of knowledgeable people to help if you need it. I am a little sceptical about you seeing Pluto in your 5" SCT though, at Mag. 14.3 I think it is a bit faint for your scope. Seeing the other planets would have been quite a buzz though. Nobody forgets the first time they see Saturns rings or Jupiters moons and cloud bands through a decent telescope.
I have to add that the light pollution here in Woonona is getting worse and the hills behind us are a cloud magnet that gets most frustrtating at times. Yes, I'm in Woonona too.
