There's a hoot. Pluto is apparent magnitude 14, making it very dim in the sky. That's going to make it difficult to pick it out with your sextant, even under the best of circumstances.
Does a sextant have sufficient light gathering characteristics to observe Pluto? I will go out on a tiny limb and say no, but will also readily admit I don't know the true answer
