Pluto - September 3 and 4, 2005

The above pictures were taken two evenings apart. Do you see Pluto's movement against the background stars?  It is the one just to the left of the  center of the picture which shows its movement  downward from one night to the next and then over again. These pictures were taken at the cassegrain f/10 focus of the Meade 12" telescope with the Canon EOS 10D camera, Exposures were at 60 seconds at ISO 1600. Each picture is a stack of 5 pictures aligned and combined in ImagesPlus and cleaned in Neat Image.
