Finaly found it.

Here is my Pluto observation from last June. 10" f5.6 @74X, seeing ~4. Times and dates are on the picture. They are centered at around RA 17h04m30s DEC -12*40' and are upside down compared to what something like Megastar would show you. Note that my handwriting is pretty poor when it's the middle of the night and my red flashlight is malfunctioning.

"Though parted by a gulf more impassable than any sea, the telescope lets us traverse what otherwise had been barred and lands us at last above the shores we went forth to seek. Real the journey is, though incorporeal in kind. Since the seeing strange sights is the essence of all far wanderings, it is as truly tavel so the eye arrive as if the body kept it company." Pervcival Lowell
