Well done! The graph is neat. Amazing how long it takes to move that little distance in its orbit. Were there other sites that captured this event also? If so, that would allow an accurate measure of its size I imagine.
Is the fading time just due to the size of the star or diffraction effects?
thats amazing. good job old boy

I must check this more often. Sorry for the tardy reply.
The slow D and R are due to Pluto's atmosphere. The deeper the star's light goes the denser the atmosphere the more starlight is absorbed. Dave
