Notes from last night.

[cotterless45]

Lots of colour up there, the "Garnet Star" just blasted out bright colour , went over to the violet / green combo of the triple in IC1396.

Then waiting for UMa to climb , had a great tour of bright carbon stars. With UMa up and some beautiful views of binaries, including the close Σ1559, super skies for splitting.This comes in at x2" , just under Tegmine which split nicely ( again).  

There's a few more bits on the lists ! Hind's Crimson comes up blood red , put at least x150 on it. Still struck by how good Cancer and Auriga looked ,NGC 2281 being magnificent.Both " winter Albireos " looked lovely , I prefer iota Cancri, stronger colours, enjoy !

Trιed NGC 2355, supposed to be the" Jedi cluster", but they must have been elsewhere saving the Galaxy. Simple 4" frac and pull in the treasures. Spent ages on Alula Australis, but somehow as the night went on , the sky got lighter ! 

Clear skies ! Nick.

Enclosed SAO numbers and coordinates.

Great session Nick.  I'm not sure I get the Jedi thing though.

Jedi thats a new one on me will write down the SAO numbers I haven't already got. You must have had clearer skies than me I could not split Tegmine`s 3rd component not even a hint.
