Pluto for a friend near Bristol

[mdstuart]

I have a friend who has a life long desire to see Pluto.

I can just about see it in my 20 inch but the friend is older than me so I am not sure I will be able to oblige..

Has anyone with one of those nightvision enhanced eyepieces and able to see Pluto live? If so and you are drivable from Bristol then I would love to make this friends dream come true.

Thank you

Still looking at how to show pluto to my friend. Maybe someone could set it up so we could use zoom or facetime to see Pluto live on your eeva screen one evening?

Hi Mark,

I am not sure if you do not have the hardware or do not know how to share live images through Zoom.

If it is about Zoom, you can share your desktop with others. So all you need to do is to get video of your astro-camera on your desktop, then start Zoom and share your desktop. So if you can see it in that way, anyone can.

best wishes,

Nicolàs

I don't have the hardware but I think a medium size scope with eeva should resolve pluto better than my 20 inch dob in suburban skies.

If someone has the kit and a dark sky and a clear evening and they want to help my friend achieve a life goal then I want to arrange the moment.

I want to sit with him in his front room and show him Pluto live via zoom etc. I suspect there maybe tears involved!
