17 Comae Berenices
Date & Time: 2019 UTC, 23.Feb.2001 Seeing: 4-5 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)>. Location of site: Hamburg, Germany Lat/Long: 53 34 N, 9 59 E Site classification: Suburban sky Sky darkness: -- <Limiting magnitude> Binoculars: Vixen Ultima 9x63 + tripod FOV: 5d |
Nice double, westerly component is the brighter one. Very easy to split,
with no colour discernible to me. Easy to locate within Mel 111 open cluster,
since 17 Com is the only immediately identifiable close double in my binocular
field of view.
Mel 111 almost fills my bino field of view. Very open. Estimated position angle is 200 degrees. Temperarture has dropped to -3.5 C. Tea (Earl Grey) helps a lot.
