Pluto time lapse from my telescope

I took these images over the course of one Pluto day (that's around 6.3 Earth days). Obviously the video is much faster than real life - you wouldn't really be able to observe the movement of Pluto very easily if I didn't speed it up.

Sorry for the grainy image but this is the absolute best that I could do.

I have also included the sound of a radio telescope that was aimed at Pluto. It really doesn't pick a whole hell of a lot up unfortunately. Listen closely though - you do get the odd spike from Jupiter (which was in that area of the sky when the sound was recorded).

It's not confusion, it's deliberate misleading on your part. Oh wow, you managed to fool people who don't bother checking into the feasibility of things. Good job. Fox would probably want you for their next 'reality tv' show.

I hope your lip didn't wobble too much when you were writing that one. Come off it - anyone who knows crap about astronomy can see it's fake.

Wow, better than hubble

@eoinpony - well, this might be bull. but its Bull to say that Hubble can barely see it. Hubble has great views of this dwarf planet.

[eoinpony]

Bullshit, Hubble can barely see it.

Oh cool!

Yeah I used to love checking out Jupiter with my telescope, when I had one.

Have to get a new one sometime.

@Zebonka Ah I understand now :) I see what you meant! lol whyd u put noise though? It looks good but Idk lol I thought the noise was from the camera itself. But wow thats pretty impressive! Pluto in a backyard telescope would problably look like a small pinpoint, like a star. Thats y I thought if this was real. Saturn Jupiter etc will actually be seeable in most backyard telescopes. I have some great moon videos on my channel if youd like to check them out :)

There is a bit of confusion, in that the Pluto in this video was nicked from a NASA video. I just threw a lot of noise on top. :)

@Zebonka No theres no confusion? What aperture is your telescope? And what focal length is it. I just wanted to know :)
