Actually viewed on the
26th,
but will report a non-split. Seemed like should be easy at 1.6 sec but
nothing,
just an orangish primary. Checked the WDS the next day and found that
this pair
has closed to 0.4 sec, and with a 2 magnitude difference... well this
is one
tough nut! Maybe in 9/10 seeing with the 16, but that comes along
once
every 5 years. |
