Description

Simple EAA live stack to observe Pluto for the first time. It is near Opposition, so, closest to it's brightest at mag 14.4. I was surprised how easy it was to pick up.

If I zoom in and significantly stretch the image, I can identify mag 17.4 stars. Extraordinary - only a 100mm aperture and total of 5 minutes exposure.
