In any case, Cartes du Ciel ( aka CdC) will reveal all:

I do already use CdC but the catalogues I have don't go deep enough to show many stars. However I did only have version 2 of CdC and from your link I see they now have version 3 of CdC. So thanks for putting me onto that Dean. I will check out the new version.

It's a pretty crowded field but hopefully Pluto will be there! Good luck.

Thanks for those charts Rob, they are just what I was after. I will check them out tonight. Of course, it doesn't help that Pluto is smack bang in the middle of the Milky Way field at the moment, but I'll see how I go.
