Description:
[From the "Spirit of 33" list for this month in Ursa Minor.]
--
The nearly full Moon was peeking up over the eastern treetops,
marking an end to the night's observing. Too bad, because it
was a beautiful night...
--
The brightest component of this double forms an almost identical
wide optical binary with the brighter star in Struve1840 (see a
previous log). In fact, both pairs looked very similar, except
Struve1841 appeared to have a little different position angle,
the secondary star was a little fainter, and it was a little
more separated from the primary.
