Your mythology is absolutely correct - but nope, Charon is not the reddest object inside the orbit of Pluto - BTW I don't think you can seperate the pair with amateur equipment - The Pluto/Charon system together is a challenge even to moderate-to-large amateur stuff and Charon was not discovered (by Pros, of course, as was Pluto itself) before 1970.

So the race is still on!
