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.
