My thoughts exactly. Thank you Richard Mallet

When will they decide to separate the gas giants from the terrestrials

And I have observed Pluto every year since 1991. All confirmed (except for 2 or 3)
with a sighting on another night. This all in a 12.5 in Newtonian from a location
North of +49° -- most from +53.5.

And to get close to on topic -- the last ten or so sightings were with the use of
charts created on Guide. My first one was Guide5 and still the best.

Thanks Bill.
