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!

Ha, well, give me an object, and I'll tell you a story. Ok, wrong story.
Ok, are you talking about another planet's satellite? Some cross-orbiting, because if so, I looked it up and was having a hard time finding something that fit your question, unless you are referring to the pinkish-looking pictures of Triton. Triton was Poseidon's son and is the man represented with the fish tail; he would blow into a conch shell to upset the waves--the harder he blew, the more the seas would kick up.
If I'm wrong again, there's another story!
OK, so I have a lot to learn. :wink:
