132x to separate the
somewhat close pair. Primary is a "caution
light" yellow and secondary a light blue. Nice color contrast.
Modest glow around the pair and some grandular/grainness
background. |

A low declination and far
after the culmination, it is strictly impossible to get good images. No
measurement made. Visually, it is a nice couple, the secondary stands out clearly
in
the 120 refractor suited with the 7.5 mm. The best camera is the eye :o) |

Another very pretty pair.
Unfortunately the bright primary is smeared
out quite a bit by the bad seeing. But the color is striking: a deep
yellow.
The secondary sits nicely alongside it and also seems to have a yellow
color. At
100x the secondary is just on the edge of visibility, sitting very
close to the
primary.

1441 AB: 3.6"
159.8° This is not so
accurate, due to the closeness of the pair. 1441 AC: 62.4" 314.7° |
