Re: (IAAC) Obj: Epsilon Lyrae

Hello Tudorica et al;

Thanks for posting this observing report. I think it is great.
One of the first things that I remember seeing as a fledgling
amateur astronomer years ago was epsilon lyrae.

I have observed it from naked eye to 22" dob. It is still a great
view even after all these years of observing it. e. lyrae is still
one of the first things I look for when observing in early summer.

Data: mag 5.0 size 208" (separation)
Description:
I find this double star a naked eye "showpiece" of the sky. For me it is very easy to split, even in these bad seeing conditions, I even see a dark space between the two stars. MAybe it is becouse I have young eyes, have anyone do a test over a lifetime to see if the splitting power of the eyes varies that much, from about 3 min to 5 min?
