I haven't seen any images of Pluto here yet. I know its not really different from the surrounding stars but knowing that I am capturing something in the Kuiper belt blows my mind :)  This image is one of my coolest yet for me personally. Pluto is right in between saturn and Jupiter right now so easy to find. 

20 sec exposure with a Canon EOS R, GSO 8" CC scope
