Nice triple,
but the third component is not a Struve, cataloged as GUI
10. Primary very close, had to throw a 3x barlow on my reducer focus to
split
it. Didn't want to take out the f6.3 reducer, resulted in f5, as I put
it in
front of the micro-focuser. Had it in for some DSO work, but the
transparency
was too poor for much of that. Just too lazy to go out in the cold to '
re-plumb' the scope. Measurement:
AB 2.38 sec at 160.7 deg PA, AC 73.67 sec at
037.6 deg PA. |
