Easy split,
yellow primary and blue secondary. The WDS lists the primary
as a 0.2 sec double, a real nutcracker, but maybe, if I get 9/10 air, I
can
elongate it, will try. Measured,
Aa-B 7.05 sec at 163.7 deg PA. Stated before that the primary is actually a close pair, COU 260. Stacked 45 frames from 197 and got a 'figure eight' pattern, maybe just a coincidence, but was in the correct PA and very close. Measurement: 0.28 sec at 014 deg Pa, with uncertainty of 0.07 sec and 19 deg PA. |
