Description

Here is a view of Pluto as it wanders slowly through our night sky. I had some plans to catch it curl around the background starfield, as it passes near a small faint planetary nebula. But three nights in, the clouds already rained on that parade and I had the framing wrong anyway. Then the tree line came into view.

So maybe someday I'll come back with a full color mosaic. But for now, this one goes to the back burner. Here is just a quick view of the apparent motion of the planet in one Earth day. Besides, I needed it for my collage of the "original" solar system.

Rev B - I'm making good on my mosaic bargain. I extended the frame to capture more of the star field and was able to more or less center Pluto's path. Unfortunately 2 weeks had lapsed before I could revisit, so there is a gaping hole in the path.

Enjoy!
