Pluto and SAC B92

[peeb61]

Hi All,
After so long I have managed to image Pluto thanks to Barnard 92.
Images were taken three days apart.

3 x 5 minutes at 400ISO each using a modded Canon 350D and 102mm f/5 Skywatcher Achromat piggybacked on my LX200 and autoguided with a DSI.
Both images cropped.

well done, lol took me a while to realise that it was above the line rather than below, fantastic capture

Thanks David...I struggle with arrows!

That's a great capture Paul.

Very nicely done.

Cheers

Pretty Cool Paul:cool2::cool2::cool2:
It reminded me of using the Blink Comparitor at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff that Clive Tombough used:)

Thanks Ric and Ron for your comments.
Pluto has been one of those targets that you sort of never really get around to capturing, crossing this dark nebula has only made that job easier and a bit more interesting.

Great work Paul !
Don't take any notice of h0ughy, he struggles with a lot of things. :P

Thanks for pointing that out Andrew but he does look like a big bloke so I give him no lip!

Thanks for looking.
