| Star: Struve 3028 (ADS 16894)
Location of site: Northern Kansas City, Missouri (USA) 94d 30m west longitude, 39d 15m north latitude 980 ft above Mean Sea Level Date of observations (UT): Nov 2, 2000 at 2330 Site classification: suburban Sky conditions: seeing-- 8 out of 10 (at times, approaching 9) transparency-- 7 out of 10 (high, thin and spotty clouds, taking perhaps 1magnitude from the starlight) limiting visual magnitude-- 4.0 mag Telescope: Celestron C-8 Eyepiece: 12.5mm MicroGuide, 166x |
Year of first measurement: 1829, 19.5 / 205
Year of last measurement: 1997 Distance (light years): 550 Luminosity (in suns): 33 Eyepiece and magnification: 12.5mm MicroGuide, 166x Colors noted: W and rO. I made six pairs of separation and PA measures using the Micro-Guide and got an average of 16.2" in PA 232. This result is so odd that either I really made a major error, or the star has passed periastron. Can someone in the group with a MicroGuide or filar please measure this star and report what you get? |
