5 Aquilae and super views.

[cotterless45]

No Moon, clear darkening skies, mozzies in force and a march past of harvestmen. Aquila was lovely and high in the south. However I was struggling and failing to observe,

5 Aquilae at 18h 46.5m. -00 58' a quadruple group, just visible at 5.9 mag. No problem with the yellow blue double , but 11.3 mag. C quite elusive. This being at a separation of 13.8". Tried wide and higher mag, but not spotted.

This was more than made up for by the triple

h881 at 19h 18.1m -05 25' at x266 showed the lovely faint BC , the group being orange and two blues.

STF 2644 at x150 giving a bright near identical pair at 20h 12.6m. +00 52' having a separation of 2.6".

STF 2590 showed a stunning full field with a few doubles, these being orange and blue at 19h 52.3m. +10 21'.

Sissy Haas notes 42 exciting doubles here, definitely worth seeking out under,

Clear skies,

Nick.

There's about 80 in Webb's Celestial Objects... a few are difiicult though. Plenty to see in this area, definitely

Months at home without work and hardly a clear sky.

Now I'm at work... well you get the picture.

So jealous right now.

Nice to read the reports though. Keep them coming.
