Hi Gazz I observed both Planets about an hour and a half ago seeing was very good and both planets very crisp, but then I was using a 16" scope and a 13mm nagler.
the both objects are able to be easely observed in an 8"scope, use low power to find the field then when you think you have the planet use as much power as you can, they both show a conspicuas disc, but Neptune is much smaller..
Pluto is at 13.8 mag, your scope will go down to mag 14.5, but you will need a good upto date chart. Good hunting. astroron
