I hope you don't mind Jim, but I thought this would be appropriate to post
here.

I guess what I saw would look most comparable to the object that is pointed
to as Pluto in the top image. I would say that as I saw it through the
eyepiece the object was fainter and at least twice as large. When I first
saw it in the eyepiece it caught my attention as being quite large compared
to the other point(s) of light I saw. However, since it has been a couple
months since then it would be difficult for me to do a direct comparison to
an object I see on my computer screen and say for certain "it was that
size!".
