| | | Pluto moves !
Couple of recent shots of Pluto over 48hrs showing its slow motion in Sagittarius  Pluto is remote and thus is a *slow mover* so actually it's the earth's more rapid obital motion around the sun that changes Pluto's apparent position amongst the stars  A large telescope is needed to view Pluto where it appears as a tiny *star*

Well captured, I don't get how you guys remember and pick out everything, I would never be able to pick out Pluto in a million years in all those stars!

Here's Pluto via my three images taken on Aug 14-16-19 stacked together showing Pluto's apparent motion westwards in the rich Sagittarius starfield - Pluto's precise position identified via NASA Horizons website
Ps: I've included my new *DeepSky from the City* logo
