Last image, ever, of Pluto the Planet?

Hello,

Is this the very last image, ever, of Pluto the Planet captured by an amateur astronomer? This animation was captured on 21st and 22nd August and shows the movement of the then Planet Pluto against the background stars.

Vixen 102mm f9 refractor.
SBIG ST7E ccd camera.
5 x 5 minute exposures.

Brisbane, Qld, Australia.
21st and 22nd August 2006

Cheers

Dennis
