Pluto 9/17 (on left) and 9/18 (on right)

These are two images of the same area of the sky taken about 24 hours apart. I've marked the location of what I believe is Pluto in both images. The faint point moves between the two images in the direction and about the right distance that Pluto should move. These photos were taken in the presence of a full moon and Pluto is currently in the Milky Way and it is a little dimmer than magnitude 14 all made photographing it and identifying it difficult. The photo on the left is a stack of 187 4 second exposures and the one on the right is a stack of 167 4 second exposures. I am going to declare victory and say I've photographed Pluto and therefore all of the original 9 planets.
