Ahhh! I did not know this. That does make it interesting. Thank you. I had a 10" Dobsonian back in the day; I looked into the logistics of looking at Pluto and decided that it was well beyond my means. I think the biggest glass I've ever looked through was a 20". So this begs the question - what do you do and where do you do it? because about the only regret I have in moving from New Mexico to Washington was the lack of easy deep sky...Because Pluto and Charon are tidally locked to each other both in revolution and rotation, there is no push-pull like in the other small bodies listed above.
I've seen Pluto with my own eyes through a 25" telescope as nothing more than a very faint dot that barely moved over two nights.
