Can I Take a Picture of Pluto? #shorts

Can I take a picture of Pluto? I get this question a lot. While I've captured Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, and Venus with my Celestron NextStar 8SE telescope - I've never pointed it at the dwarf planet. But I have seen others attempt it with an 8-inch telescope and it appears as though it were a very small star.

Facts about Pluto:

- Pluto is named after the Roman god of the underworld.

- Pluto was reclassified from a planet to a dwarf planet in 2006.

- Pluto was discovered on February 18th, 1930 by the Lowell Observatory by Clyde Tombaugh.

- Pluto has five known moons.
- Pluto is the largest dwarf planet.
