Below is an image of Pluto and target taken last night.

You should be observing from 19:00UT to 19:15UT 22nd June (5:00am to 5:15am MONDAY 23rd June)

Don't forget the pair are at Alt18.5 Az261 so keep clear of trees in
the west and it's a small slew from say Nunki in Sagittarius

AND don't forget the Pluto event is followed by the Charon event (about) 8 minutes later so if we miss Pluto (because of a southerly shift) we might catch Charon.

these are old plots, but you get the idea...

good luck everyone...
