Date & Time: May 8th, 2002 01:31 UT Seeing: 5 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)> Location of site: Escobar, Argentina. 58º30´W, 30º40´S Site classification: Suburban Sky darkness: 3-4 <Limiting magnitude> Telescope: Celestron 8"f/10 SCT & SS2K Eyepieces: Ultima 30 mm, Powermate 2,5x Magnification: 71x |
Once the star
was located, the lower magnification (71x) split the pair easily but too
close. Their colors, both white, and brightness were evident over the deep
sky (grate contrast).

Nearly equal
pair of white. Quite pretty. Noted at PA approx. 35°. Rated
a 2. Also noted another pair at 13 15, -18 55 I need to check on.

The southernst
in the list. I only could see this star for 10 min
between two trees. From my latitude is so low that even a quite easy split becomes difficult, due to the atmospheric disturbance. Split at 80x, although the image was like "floating" in the eyepiece.

This was a
pretty pair, much like a pair of small, blue-white diamonds in a rather
sparse field. There is a very narrow triangle of faint stars to the west,
just at the edge of the low power FOV.
