That's a very good idea. Too bad it wasn't mentioned sooner, a .gif of a day or two might not show much. It's my understanding that Tombaugh found Pluto fairly quickly, once he started the work. One of the reasons he was chosen was because he had "sharp eyes." Pluto had been found much early, but no one caught the movement before 1930. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Hards" <chuck.hards@gmail.com> To: "Utah Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Friday, July 24, 2015 5:27:26 AM Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Tombaugh tribute? Patrick, what are the chances of you taking a couple of images of Pluto over a few nights, and combining them into an animated .gif file? It's the modern equivalent of a blink comparator. It would approximate what Clyde Tombaugh had to deal with during his search all those years ago.
