Pluto's rotational lightcurve

The last time that Pluto's rotational lightcurve was studied in detail was in 1995 using the Hubble Space Telescope!  Since then the dwarf planet has moved further from the Sun and there are indications that the cooling of the planet may have caused a change in the atmosphere / weather on Pluto and which might very well be visible if we measure the rotational lightcurve.
