Can I Take a Picture of Pluto?
Can I take a picture of Pluto? I get this question a lot. While I've captured Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, and Venus with my Celestron NextStar 8SE telescope - I've never pointed it at the dwarf planet. But I have seen others attempt it with an 8-inch telescope and it appears as though it were a very small star.
