Planets was created by dmcdona
Folks - my first lash at the dimmer solar system planets.

All images with the C8 SCT, DSI, 6.3 reducer. Mostly 10 plus stacked images of 30 to 60 seconds unguided exposures each.

Neptune and Triton



Uranus and some moons - couldn't resolve which was which...



Pluto

Very good Dave!
What would be a nice project for someone would be to take several images of Pluto and make an animated gif/avi of it and show it's movement against the background stars. Then, you could estimate a distance and an orbit. Would be interesting to see how accurate a figure could be created for such a body in such a wierd orbit and inclination.
