Pluto 11th May 2011

OK, I had a proper go at processing my image of Pluto from the other night. The image is made up of a stack of ten 10 second exposures using a Canon EOS 550D at prime focus of a 12" Sky-Watcher Goto Dobsonian.

I have increased the saturation and introduced a layer of blur to help bring out the colours as recorded. I find it interesting that Pluto is a turquoise colour compared to the surrounding field.

Image size is 10'x10'. The bright star at the bottom right is SAO 161540 at Magnitude 5.6

Thanks for looking.

Tom
