Location of site: Flat Iron observing site Date of observations (UT): Nov 18(19)th, 2000 from 2:00 to 9:30 Site classification: Rural Seeing: 7 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)> Sky darkness: 6.2 <Limiting magnitude> Telescope: 90mm Meade ETX on an AltAz mount. Eyepiece(s): 32mm Meade Super Plossl, 15mm & 10mm Vixen Lantanum, 2x shorty barlow. Magnification(s): 39x, 83x, 125x, 166x, 250x |
Not suspected at39x. 83x I caught a glimpse or two
with averted. Barely determine a PA of 135°. (Man, 10th
mag is faint in this scope!!) 166x, a lot more obvious. PA
is still 135°, but comp is considerably more visible.
