Hi all, I hope this isn't out of place, mods please move or delete this if it is. I've started doing an acrlyic landscape painting set on the 'coast' of Tombargh Regio, Pluto (below - very much a work in progress). I want to get the sky accurate if I can, but I'm having trouble working out where Charon would be in the sky from a give location. Can anyone help? I'm having trouble even figuring out where the sub-Charon point is on the most recent images, wich would at least give me a start point.....
