I just looked it up and pluto is currently mag 14.2.
About 10 years ago it was at mag 13.8 and I hunted it down successfully with my VC200L. It was at the limit of the scope but could be seen with averted vision. You need dark skies and no moon.
With the 10" scope it would be a challenge.
I have imaged it quite easily with my CCD as a 14 mag star is pretty easy to image.
