Date: 6 Feb 2006
Time: 7:30pm to 10:00pm
Seeing: about 6/10
Transparency: average to poor
Location of site: Beaverton Oregon, USA, 45 28N, 122 51W
Site classification: Suburban
Conditions: 42F, no wind, dry
Sky darkness:  limiting mag 3+
Telescope: Takahashi FS102
Eyepieces: Pentax 9mm ortho
Magnification: app. 91x

 At first I did not detect a companion at all. Only after viewing STF838 with the superb Pentax ortho did I come back to this one and barely detect the faint companion with averted vision. It was lost using other oculars.

Ambience: A lot of porch lights to contend with tonight. Perhaps it's due to the lack of leaves on the trees but my whole backyard seemed lit up. Also the first quarter moon added some brightness. Cool (42 degF with no breeze).
