Thanks Gary & Hitchhiker,

Thanks for the info. I'll contact Shevill once I've had a little more time to work things out for myself. Hopefully I'll have a chance this week to take a few test images of Pluto too, it's been a while (year or so) since I last took images of it.

As for accurate time - My scope is sync'd to the computer which is sync'd to the web via time update services, but I suppose that might not be accurate enough? A GPS capable of plugging in to either/both computer or telescope could be a problem for me to achieve.

Lots of other questions such as optimal exposure time & brightness of pluto, etc, which I suspect is probably best directed to Shevill.

All sounds interesting, hopefully I'll be able to organise myself in time to take part, and that the weather will be co-operative.

Roger.
