9mm Or---------Nicely
separated with the faint companion roughly located on a N-S line. The primary
appeared
white but any colour in the companion couldn't be established. 30mm Ultima--------A nice split of this double with the faint companion seen well. The wider fov brings out some fainter stars in the view. |

Easy
pair pretty wide composed
by fairly bright stars. The primary is pretty bright and
white-yellowish. The
secondary is noticeably fainter but still visible, maybe its colour is
the same
of the primary. No rings. Extimated PA about 185 degrees. Pair not
particularly
interesting. |

Given tonight's observing
conditions, I am welcoming wide pairs. Struve 1782's white and yellow
stars fit that bill nicely. |
