Astrophoto: Pluto by Charles Bell

Charles Bell demonstrates that amateur astronomers can photograph Pluto with their backyard telescopes. Charles used a 12″ Meade 200LX-GPS with a 120 second exposure.

Do you have photos you’d like to share? Post them to the Universe Today astrophotography forum or email them to me directly, and I might feature one in Universe Today.
