Target & Pluto identified

Just got a break in the clouds and was interested to see how much difference the Moon made - fortunately not as much as I thought that it might.

The target (occultation) star is the brighter one almost dead centre (slightly below) of the image, and Pluto is the first object out at 5 o'clock (approx 25% of distance to edge of frame in 5 o'clock direction).

Exposure: 1.6 seconds
Other data from plate solve:
Center (RA, Dec)285.186, -20.694) Center (RA, hms):19h 00m 44.718s Center (Dec, dms):-20° 41' 39.852" Size:22.1 x 14.7 arcmin Radius:0.221 deg

Orientation:Up is 54.2 degrees E of N

Let's hope for clear skies Tuesday morning!
