You should have a go at it Jas, but I probably didn't convey just how difficult it is unless you have a lot of things on your side. At the moment Pluto is in Cr394 which is an open cluster. All those background stars make it so much harder to sort Pluto from the stars. Also the horizon is going to start brightening tomorrow morning when Pluto is only 15 degrees above the horizon. I doubt you could see it through all the muck down that low.
The first time I saw Pluto there was a faint globular cluster in the field of view that made orientation and star hoping to it so much easier. Plus it was near zenith and at a dark spot. I had GoTo and tracking, and with all that going for me it was quite easy to spot. I followed it for a few months after that and it was usually pretty easy to find because I knew exactly where to look each time.
So maybe in a few months when it is higher in the morning sky and moved out of the cluster it will be easier to find. Let us know how you go
