III Blanco, C. ; di Martino, M. ; Ferreri, W. Abstract The results of the last mutual phenomena between Pluto and Charon, obtained from observations carried out as part of the planned 'Pluto-Charon Mutual Eclipse Season Campaign', are presented. We observed the phenomena, which occurred on 1989 May 28 and June 29 and 1990 June 28, in the B and V colors by using the 91 cm reflector of the Serra La Nave stellar station of Catania Astrophysical Observatory. From the analysis of the obtained light curves, with respect to the predicted ones, no large difference appears in the light losses and, as far as it is estimable, also in the times of the onset and of the end of the observed phenomena. Nevertheless, some disagreement is present between the predicted and observed times of the deepest points of the 1989 May 28 and 1990 June 28 light curves.
