Decided
to try a high DI star in this marginal air. Did not see a hint of the secondary
in real time on the TV. But took some videotape anyway for post processing,
and the seconday popped out after stacking 100 frames of video. Still a
poor image, but there anyhow. Primary a white color, companion too faint
to tell. Measurement, poor as it is, 1 sec
at 335.6 deg PA. will have to redo this when the air improves.
