Not split,
but the star seems
oblong in the correct direction. The 1.5 mag difference is to blame
here. Guess
at measurement; 0.49 sec at 145 deg PA. Will try this one again,
hopefully in
better air. More data to do, will post later.

Tried this one again with
the same results, just
elongated, not even a figure 8. But the elongation matched my previous
sights,
so maybe real. Poor guess
measurement; 0.44 sec at 141 deg PA.
