Details:
First image: Stack of four images with flats and darks processed with Deep Sky Stacker. Enhanced with Photoshop. Taken around 11:55 PM MDT. Celestron C11 with Nikon D7000 at prime focus, ISO 3200 for 20 seconds (1 min 20 sec total exposure). Altitude: 25 degrees. Location altitude: 7,070 ft. Taken through a thin layer of haze and seeing was 5/10. Vertical scale is roughly 15'. (Image cropped and reduced 33%). Last 2 images: single-images, full-res, cropped, unenhanced images show movement of Pluto between 11:48 and 12:06. Amazing that in just 18 minutes we can detect the movement of Pluto in its orbit 3 billion miles away!
