Not to be picky, but are we not missing four for the planets? Mercury, Venus; Uranus I get, no one wants to be ambassador of that, but I feel Neptune's pain... did they perchance do something wrong? :lol:

Nice to see Pluto, though. Take that, IAU! ;)

All the best,
Mark

"The Hankmeister" Celestron 8SE, orange tube Vixen made C80, CG4 & AZ-EQ5 mounts.
Too much Towa glass/mirrors.

Ca-K - W/O 61mm, Antares 1.6 barlow, Baader 3.8 OD and Ca-K filters with a ZWO ASI174mm.
W/L - C80-HD with Baader 5.0 & 3.8 Solar film, Solar Continuum 7.5nm and UV/IR filters with a Canon EOS 550D.

I don't mind to be Uranus ambassador. :lol: Now that you mentioned that, it does feel like discrimination for Uranus and Neptune. :)

The Neptunians -- No. They are a very empathetic lot, and as such, they all moved to Pluto to finally establish that Pluto is a "real" planet.

Or, Interdimensional Grand Poo-Bah as the highest above 5000? If there are more than one tied for it you will just have to share, nicely.

Just a thought.
I'm here to do two things, build something and dump some light down it.
