Addendum 2000-2001 

For the 2000-2001 winter, here are some more objects. The first 5 double stars are maybe the more difficult ones from our last year experience, and for example Otto Struve 111 almost will drive you crazy. The Trapezium is also included, but you must observe at least 5 components there (better 6, of course), so plan to go to a really dark site to get the split.
This addendum to Orion will remain open to observe from 16th December, 2000 to 28th February, 2001
