32 Orionis
Date & Time: 22, January, 2001 Seeing: At best a 7, but went down to 4 in places <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)>. Definately did not support the higher powers necessary for this project. A moderate wind was a big factor/problem. Location of site: Eagle Eye, in the lovely Harquahala Mts., Arizona 33 43.787n, 11317.765w. Elev 1,800ft Site classification: Rural Sky darkness: <Limiting magnitude> Temperature: about 40°F Telescope: 8" f/6 (1200mm) on a dob mount. Eyepieces: Mostly Vixen. 10 and 15mm with 2x and 5x barlow combo's. |
10mmx2 (240x) (My finders
are REALLY aligned well.) Obvious split with dark between. PA est.
45°, both white.

Date & Time: 15 - February - 2001 (22 h 00 m UT) Seeing: 8 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)> Location of site: Posadas (Córdoba), Spain Site classification: Suburban Sky darkness: 5 <Limiting magnitude> Temperature: 14ºC Telescope: Helios 120 mm f/8.3 achromatic refractor Magnification: 100x, 315x, 500x Eye Pieces: Plossl 10 mm, Microguide 12.5 mm, 2x Barlow, diagonal prism, 3x Barlow |
The widest of Nutcraker
on Orion. With a magnification of
100x this star seemed to be white but lonely. Using 315x I was able to see the components into a very nice, bright, close double star. The colour of both stars seemed to be pale yellow. I obtained with MicroGuide at 500x from an average of 7 measures a PA of 47º1. Rating: 2

Definately
elongated with the barlow, but I could never get a clean split. Color was
a pale yellow.
