Well,
found it at last. Viewed before in better air and was easy, but
bouncing
around tonight. Primary a cream color and companion a pure blue. WDS
lists
the B component with a 0.1 sec companion too, as well as 2 wide fainter
field stars that were not noticed.
Measurement;

I had a
great night of observing...not very cold
and the seeing was excellent, views of Jupiter were incredible...but
that's another story. I'm still new to star-hopping in general and very
new to Lynx, and so I've had trouble finding my way around. This was
one star I could easily ID. And I split it without knowing it! I
thought I saw the companion but wasn't sure...it certainly was dim. I
tried a few other doubles and seemingly failed at all of them, or even
to positively identify them in the eyepiece. Later, I looked at Steve
Bodin's photo and realized I had seen 38 Lyncis! So not a total wash to
the evening. |

This was my
favorite of the
night. A close pair of very different magnitudes. It looked liked a
small limon supporting a greapfruit up at an angle
of 45º to the left. Scale of 1. Both white. Sep. 2.49" PA 220.57º. |

(53° 15' N -2º 33' W). Site classification: Suburban Conditions: good Sky darkness: 3.0 UMi <Limiting magnitude> Telescope: 4inch f/15 Vixen achromat. Mount: EQ5. Eyepieces: 9mm Orthoscopic, 18mm Orthoscopic. Magnification: X167, X83 |
9mmOr------At this
magnification
this star appeared as a very delicate and close double split in moments
of steady seeing. I was tempted to use a higher magnification but
settled on x167 as the view looked so good. The primary star
appeared to be a cream colour with a pale purple companion. HS
1. One for a star party!! |
