Description

Pluto is in the exact center of this Final image. It was moving through the constellation of Sagittarius at this time. I included a motion gif in the Original image to show one day's motion of Pluto to this position. Also, in the Final version, notice the chromatic aberration of Pluto's disk, especially as compared to the other stars. I took a RGB sequence over 15 minutes, which I thought would be a short enough time span given Pluto's tiny amount of motion, but you can see the red and blue edges on each side of Pluto's disk due to the filter images not lining up perfectly.
