Description

Every few years I like to go and image Pluto. This morning (6/4/2021 at 4 AM) I took a few short images of the field where Pluto was located. I stacked them. I did just a bit of processing in PixInsight to stretch the image and then inverted it to make seeing Pluto easier. Added a circle around it after confirming with a screenshot saved from Stellarium that I had actually captured the tiny little guy out there a few billion miles.
