Pluto in Sagittarius

[nytecam]

I try most summers to record the star-like Pluto currently low down on the meridian in Sagittarius about midnight.  Had to wait for it to exit my neighbour's ever expanding willow for this quick shot ! 

Inset POSS2/red plate showing no 'star' in Pluto's position.

Don't forget tonight's [Monday] BCC's Sky at Night @ 10PM TV BBC 4 overview so far on New Horizons probe

Good capture, having failed to image it from the obs'y with 10"SCT I've shifted my portable rig for a better view through neighbours trees, only 110 f/7 refractor, had a nice tour around Sagittarius last night but didn't spot Pluto.

That area of the sky is pretty much totally off limits to me unfortunately. Well done capturing Pluto nice to complete the set, so to speak.
