Pluto and SAC B92

Hi All,
After so long I have managed to image Pluto thanks to Barnard 92.
Images were taken three days apart.

3 x 5 minutes at 400ISO each using a modded Canon 350D and 102mm f/5 Skywatcher Achromat piggybacked on my LX200 and autoguided with a DSI.
Both images cropped.

Pretty Cool Paul
It reminded me of using the Blink Comparitor at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff that Clive Tombough used

Thanks Ric and Ron for your comments.
Pluto has been one of those targets that you sort of never really get around to capturing, crossing this dark nebula has only made that job easier and a bit more interesting.
