Data: mag 3.3-6.4 size 2.87"
Position: RA 08:46 DEC 06:25
Description:
Close, great mag difference. Its position
was just above the roof, so, while for
much of the rest of these observations, I would rate the seeing as 7/10,
here I would deduct a point or two, and the brighter member(s) were
swiming around a lot. At low and mid
power there was no signs of duplicity, but at high power I could make
out the secondary as a slight bump just off the yellow primary.
