A wonderful night for doubles

[michaelmorris]

It's been a clear, warm night with exceptional seeing. I'm just packing up after a very productive and enjoyable 3 hours observing and drawing some more doubles in Bootes.  With the very steady conditions I've been concentrating on a few very close pairs.

Firstly, try as I might, I couldn't split Struve 1816 or Zeta Bootes.  However, I did manage to split Struve 1884, Struve 1879 and 44 Bootes, the latter two having less than 2 arcseconds of separation.  I also bagged a couple of wider pairs, Struve 1850 and Pi Bootes.

A most enjoyable and satisfying night.  

Now off to bed. zzzzzzz

Good session.  I started on a doubles session but bailed after a quick sketch of Mizar and Alcor. I'd had a mental day and was pooped.

I tried but struggled and had to turn in.

Oh how I want my ed100 back in use!
