 easy and wide. The magnitudes listed seemed a little off: if the
primary is 8.2, the secondary seemed dimmer than the listed 8.9, more like
9.6, worth a check.

Definite hint of close third star at 560x with the UO HD 5mm eyepiece.  Air was quite still so was able to see peanut type shape almost able to make out a snowman type effect.  I’ll try this again at a later time with the 18” f7.5 newt I’m making.  - - We shall see.
