ASTRO: Pluto reduced to 67%

I decided the field was easier to see at this reduced size and allowed
me to save it at a higher setting without blowing the image byte size
through the roof. Otherwise its the same image.

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

You seem to have a couple other moving objects as well. I've
circled them in the attached.

Boy you have a good eye. I knew of several in the image, you found the
two brightest.

Northern one you circle is (10696) 1981 EO24 at magnitude 17.0 while the
other you circled is (31242) 1998 DO10 at magnitude 16.1. It is moving
a bit faster so appears no brighter. There are 3 others in the
magnitude 19 range that I can find as I know exactly where to look but
against the bright Milky Way they are barely seen.

I figured these two too difficult so didn't mention them. See they came
through so well in red that little red dot beside them helped show them
up! Still I didn't count on such eagle eyes out there. Nice spotting.

I agree with Rick. You must have some sharp eyes! How's it going, Brian?
Haven't heard from you in a while.

Not too bad, George. Life's been dealing me some lousy hands lately
but I'm hanging in there. Actually, all told, I'm doing quite well
so I won't complain! I'm hoping to use it as an opportunity to change
directions.

As for the asteroids, they stood out like a sore thumb to me. I saw
them both within a minute, if not faster. I looked for others but
didn't notice them. Perhaps having the green and blue channels will
help on the new image?

I can appreciate that. Sometimes we all could use a change.
