"Animation showing movement of #Pluto over 24hrs

Conditions for imaging such a faint target (mag 14.4) were horrid - low (13ยฐ alt) in the murkiest bit of sky, imaging through bushes, and there was a full moon not too far away

I'll do it again in a dark sky!

"Each image in the animation was made from a stack of 5 x 20 second exposures.
Equipment - Esprit 100ED. ASI294MC Pro.
No filters were used to reduce light pollution from the nearby full moon. With hindsight this would've been a sensible idea! ๐Ÿ˜„"
