Description:
I got elongation at low power. at mid power I thought I could detect an occasional sliver of black, and got a clean split at high power. These stars are pretty faint, almost mag 10, and I couldn’t make out color. Some faint stars scattered here and there in the FOV, but other than that, not much to say.
