Re: [Utah-astronomy] Pluto: Can you find it
Patrick, In the middle of the shots is a bright star with an inverted triangle asterism above it and slightly to the left. Next to the bright star to the left is a double star (looks like a double). In the first shot is a star that in that triangle forms a three star chain on the base of the triangle. In the next shot that same star moves to the left leaving the inverted triangle alone and now up and to the left of that double star. I will assume because that "star" moves it is the dwarf planet Pluto. On 2009-09-29 04:19, Patrick Wiggins wrote:
I got a 15 second shot of Pluto last evening and again this evening to show Pluto's apparent motion.
I've taken Patrick images and animated them to make this easier: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=2426 Ken -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of JayLEads Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 7:00 AM To: Utah-Astronomy Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Pluto: Can you find it Patrick, In the middle of the shots is a bright star with an inverted triangle asterism above it and slightly to the left.
