Transparency: 6-7/10 ,variable, due to high hazy clouds Location of site: Northern Kansas City, Missouri. 39º 15' N, 94º 30' W, 980 ft above Mean Sea Level Site classification: Suburban Sky darkness: <Limiting magnitude> Telescope: Celestron C-11 Eyepieces: 25mm Plossl Magnification: 112x |
Position: 1838+3603
Magnitudes: 7.2 (A5), 8.8 Sep/PA's: 4= / 184+ Year of this measurement: 1969 Distance (light years): 318 Luminosity (in suns): 13 Colors noted: Y, bW Comments: A nice pair
set in a rich field (although the field within one FOV is not that great).
Webb saw them as yW and B.

Date & Time: July 8, 2001; 0:30 - 01.15 Seeing: 6 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)>. Location of site: Annen, The Netherlands (53 N, 6 E) Site classification: Village-backyard Sky darkness: 4 <Limiting magnitude> Telescope: Meade SCT 8" f/10 Eyepieces: Ultima 30 mm, TV plossl 20mm, LV 15mm, LV 7mm Magnification: 67x, 133x |
A very nice view with 67x
and 133x. At 67x the pair is tiny but very attractive. They show a yellow
and bluish color.

Cleanly split at low power.
Both have a blueish tinge

Date & Time: 21st, July, 2001. 21:00 – 23:05UT Seeing: 7-8 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)> Transparency: 3-4 <0:worst -10:best > Location of site: Quintueles, Gijón, Spain. 43º 32N, 5º 55W. Altitude: 20 m. Site classification: Suburban Sky darkness: 3.0 - 3.5 <Limiting magnitude> Temperature: about 15º C Conditions: A lot of haze and moisture. Seeing is rather good, but haze actuates like a light diffusor and that makes difficult observe stars fainter that 10 magnitude.

The split is easy at 200x,
although the sky's limiting magnitude makes a bit difficult to observe
it well. Maybe the real values of magnitude are fainter than the
ones given in Burnham. In any case, I check if dew is starting to form
in the objective and no, there is no dew. Anyway, I use the
technique of "hot cloth" to the refractor. This technique is described in the following paragraph: First, I heat up water until
almost reaching the boiling point and then put it inside a glass bottle.
Around this heated bottle, I put a cloth made of wool. Then, from time
to time (let's say, every two observed doubles or so), I put the wool cloth
around the tube, just near the lens cell. Since doubles

A disappointing field at
40x; too sparse. 85x bettered the field and resolved the pair - a *** for
me - and made me think of the field of STF 2333 by its isolation (strange
considering the nearness to the Milky Way). T Lyr. "Red as ever but not
very luminous. ~ 8½"

No observable color. The companion seems much dimmer than the primary in spite of published magnitudes. The double is set in a very sparse FOV. |
