Time:
21:00-24:00 UT
Seeing: 5 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)>
Transparency:  clear
Location of site: Vienna, Austria
Site classification: Suburban
Conditions
:

Moon:
Sky darkness: 4.5 <Limiting magnitude>
Telescope: 130/1040mm refractor
Camera: SBIG ST237A CCD
Exposures: 6 or 12 x 10 seconds for astrometry. Distance/PA measurement was done with these images also except where noted (bright stars need shorter exposure times of 1 sec or less)
Image measurement: astrometry with Astrometrica software and UCAC2 or USNO B1.0 catalog (see http://www.astrometrica.at); with exact focal length and image orientation I measured distance and PA with AIP4WIN software. I took means of measuring all my images for a star. There is a scatter of 0.2 arcsec in separation and 0.2 deg in PA. Scatter in PA is much larger if the stars are very close. Note: All images have north up
Eyepieces: n/a

STF2090 = WDS 16449+0957

The WDS has 4 companions A to D. I was only able to image A (bright one in the center) and the companions C and D to the north (up). CD forms a nice double! Faint star B was not visible on my images. Proper motion data in the WDS suggests that the stars are not related.

Measures: STF2090AC: year 2006.57 / distance 69.0 arcsec / PA 24.8 deg STF2090AD: year 2006.57 / distance 90.5 arcsec / PA 28.0 deg STF2090CD: year 2006.57 / distance 21.9 arcsec / PA 38.1 deg
