Description:
- 25x: Can't split it yet.
- 48x: After few minutes, I finally split it into 2 stars of equal
brightness.
- 79x: Easily split, but no trace of alleged 3. and 4. star. (see P.S.)
P.S.
Skymap shows 36 oph as a 22"-long chain of 4 stars with magnitudes 5.0,
4.2, 5.3 and 4.3, separated 15", 4" and 3" respectively. I was really
looking forward to see this with my babydob, but I saw only 2 stars :(.
Data at http://www.alcyone.de/SIT/mainstars/SIT000631.htm agree with
what I saw.
