8" SCT at Sunglow Ranch in AZ, May 4-Pluto EZ, direct vision, I would say not
even faint.

90mmMak, Hungry Valley(near Mt.Pinos) in CA, May 28-Pluto seen averted all the
time, difficult direct, but seen.

I cheated and had a Megastar finder chart, but it wasn't too hard to star hop
there.

It was easier than the central star in M27, which I've seen in 5".
