Magnification: 93x 
Harshaw Scale: 5 <1-5; 1 best>		 Very, very wide...
Luis must have had a secret, hidden reason for putting this one on the list. I suppose it is somewhat of a challenge to find the faint secondary with small telescopes.

And maybe it is the somewhat bluish color that the secondary seems to show (according to Skymap it is just white). The primary is (also) white.

Magnification: 50x, 80x, 145x, 230x
Harshaw Scale: 4 <1-5; 1 best>		 Very wide and faint with no background interest. Primary yellowish white @ 50x. Secondary too faint to discern any colour. Very faint scattering of background stars. Background field not evident at 80x and secondary only just visible. Not one I'll be visiting again.

Date & Time: 9:00 -> 9:40 pm CST. 
Seeing: 6 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)>
Location of site: Killeen, Texas
Site classification: Suburban 
Sky darkness: 4 <Limiting magnitude>
Moon: No moon in the sky
Telescope: 8" Celestar SCT
Eyepieces: 25mm, 17mm, CMG (12.5mm)
Magnification: 80x, 120x, 165x		 A very wide  spaced pair with a large magnitude difference. The primary is about mag 6 and appears blue, the secondary about mag 10 and is too faint to detect color.n They 
lie on an approximately E-W line.

Seeing: 6 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)>
Transparancy: 7 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)> 
Location of site: Terara, New South Wales, Australia.
150º.38E, 34º.52S
Site classification: Suburban
Moon: 4 days old.
Temperature: 17ºC. 
Sky darkness: --- <Limiting magnitude>
Telescope: 8" Newt. F9
Eyepieces: 25mm K, 12.5 mm Ortho. 
Magnification: 73x 146x
Harshaw Scale: 4 <1-5; 1 best> 
 		 This star is unmarked on my charts and only careful analysis of position and magnitude revealed it. Perhaps it may be too wide for some catalogues. 
 
Comments: This is a whitish star with a wide dim companion in a sparse field.

Seeing: 6 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)> 
Location of site: Near Halifax
West Yorkshire, England.
Site classification: Suburban
Temp: -4ºC
Conditions: Clear except between 2110 & 2240, when mainly overcast, 
Wind SW - NW 5/15kts
Sky darkness: 3.0 (U Mi) <Limiting magnitude>
Telescope: Orion Optics UK GX250
Eyepieces: 25 mm Ortho, 20 mm Plossl, 9mm Ortho, 7.5mm Plossl
Magnification: x10 (finder) x48, x60, x133, x160
     		 A very wide pair, interesting only in that the secondary could not be seen in the finder because of the full moon. It was, however, clear at x60. No coloration noted.
