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.....
