Date & Time: 7/25/00 12:46 am CDT Seeing: 8 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)> Location of site: Killeen, TX (Lat 31 N, Elev 600 ft) Site classification: Suburban Sky darkness: 3 <Limiting magnitude> Telescope: Orion 6" Dob. Magnification: 120x |
Located at the end of 3 equal magnitude, faint stars between
tau and epsilon Scorpii. Although by this time Scorius was well into the
light pollution to my south, it was definately split at 120x, the secondary
coming in and out of view. Looked rather blueish to me.

| Star: I 993
Date & Time: July 22th 2000, 7 p.m local; UT +10 Seeing: 8 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)> Transparency: 9/10 Temperature: -- Location of Site: Terara, New South Wales, Australia, Long.150.38 degrees; South 34.52. Site Classification: Suburban Sky darkness: 5.5 <Limiting magnitude> Instrument: 8" F9 Dobsonian Magnification: 72x (25mm K) |
Despite the wide sepatation(3.6") I found this a difficult
split with the faint companion (mag. 11) only perceived with averted vision.
It lies at the end of a string of three equal magnitude stars between Tau
and Epsilon Scorpio.
