Pluto

This picture perhaps shouldn't be called Pluto as that planet is just the faintest of spots here. It shows movement, yes, but there are many more shouting more loudly than tiny mag 13.9 Pluto. This is an animated .gif and the exposure of 6x120sec was taken on 16.6.09 at midnight and repeated at the same time on the next night. As the movement seen of the many asteroids and Pluto is over that period, the fast movers will perhaps show themselves once, and slower movers twice.
They were taken with a William FLT98 and M25C. Acquisition and processing in AstroArt, Photoshop and JASC Animation Shop.
