This was
really confusing. The project had a faint wide pair listed, but
the scope slewed to a brighter tight pair. Checking the WDS cleared
this up.
This is a quadruple! the tight pair is AB and the project listing is
CD. The D
star is very faint maybe only 14 at best, so the measurement is poor
and the
video image shows only a blip. Measurement:
AB 1.91 sec at 079.7 deg PA, AC
83.5 sec at 133.5 deg PA, CD 6.4 sec at 317.1 deg PA. |
