Star: Struve 849 in Orion
Date & Time
Seeing:   <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)>. 
Transparency
Location of site: Silverdale WA, USA
47N 123W
Site classification: suburb-rural
Conditions
Sky darkness:  <Limiting magnitude> 
Telescope: Celestron C8
Eyepieces
Additional: PC164C video camera at 3x, 6x
Magnification: 250x at 3x visual, 
1000x, 2000x video
Just too dim even at the 3x setting. Possible that the seeing had degraded too much as it was not split. This star should be just at the C8 limit at 3x video setup. Maybe it is fainter or bluer than the C8 can image. Maybe I'll get some good air for the Bigdog DOB.
