Thanks! Yes, I think I'll leave the punnishment of spotting Pluto! More research led me to the conclusion that it's basically impossible to find it when the moon is shining!
Have heard folks spotting Triton and would love to give that a go. I guess it will be the little white dot near the bigger blue blob in my 8"! Grrrr, and it's a bit windy at the moment too.....
