85 Peg. With apodising mask. Difficult, see a brightening with averted vision and foveal coaxing, but does show as faint star briefly. My PA is ENE, which is slightly incorrect. 26.28 year period, this one is widening for apastron in 2035 |

erst bei 320x ist Komponente B knapp getrennt nördlich von A zu erkennen - beide Sterne sind relativ hell und haben relativ große Beugungsscheibchen, so dass die Trennung nur knapp zu sehen ist - nicht wirklich schön, wenn man in den Nächten vorher mit einem Refraktor Doppelsterne beobachtet hat |

Lam Cas. Very bright, through the speckle pattern I can see elongation with subtle notch with B maybe to the west? [Correct!] Two other stars in field. Short period, 245 year period but it's whipping around A at the moment, 0.112" now, will make a quarter turn by 2037 but still be nearly the same impossible separation. |

V547 Cas. Faint, very fine pair, seen at 205x and had a better look at 333x. Wide, ~4" slightly reddish faint stars. SkyTools brought this up as a short period pair, however it won't make a significant change in my time. It turns out A is also a pair, MCY 1 Aa-Ab, 10.8/12.5 0.5" with a period of only 15.59 years -- discovered by one D.W. McCarthy (no relation!) in 1989 during the first results of the Steward Observatory Infrared Speckle Camera using their 2.3 meter telescope. The Ab star has a mass of only 0.18 of the sun. I think it is gettable visually with the Challenger on a good transparent night, or with the Lick Great Refractor if I ever have the good fortune to observe with it |

A-BC: Easy to split with quite large difference in brightness. |
|
Christopher Hay
Seeheim (Germany) |
71mm (32x) |
Fine split. A is mandarine orange. BC has trouble displaying its colour due to the overpowering light of A, but in good moments is clearly blue.
A-BC is a physical double at a distance to us of 393 light years.
BC is also physical, with a relatively short period of 63 years for C to circle B and a very tight periastron. Unobservable in 2013 at periastron with 0.1". Since then the angular separation has been widening rapidly and will reach 0.4" in 2029. B-C will then become observable in large amateur telescopes for three decades, after which C will fall quickly back to B. |

A-BC: bei 45x ein knapp getrenntes Pärchen - Komponente A knallgelb mit einem Anhängsel nordöstlich - Komponente BC strahlt 3 Größenklassen schwächer - bei 144x wirkt BC grün-weiß, bei 45x war der Eindruck noch leicht gelblich |

BC: Component of STF 205, of which A is a brilliant orange and BC bright blue. In BC I can only see elongation through the speckle at 667x and 1067x. Short 62.63 year period which will get "easier" to about 0.2" by 2045 |
|
Mark McCarthy

508mm (1067x) |
BC: I spent a good long while on this one, and tried hard to nail down the position angle. At 1067x, both with and without an apodising mask, but both times with a #80A light blue filter, which did seem to calm the diffraction a little, I had a clear view of the elongation with a strong sense of the weaker end being to the East or to the ESE. I also tried a 78% central obstruction mask, and while the diffraction became a grid, and the disks much smaller, I could clearly see the same elongation and weaker end, though at a much smaller scale. To my delight the current orbital solution puts the PA at 120.6-degrees, 0.179" separation, so I think I have detected it. I can't wait until 2033 when this becomes an easy pair! |

Split at 533x but used barlow to confirm the PA accurately since this is a short period pair. Nicely split orange stars, half delta mag. Seeing it now at nearly the furthest extent of its orbit, it will become more difficult with time. The pair is a "mere" 55.91 lightyears away |

Component D easy to see even at lowest magnification. Component C is also easily visible at 49x. At 69x the component B is indicated, at 100x clearly visible. C appears slightly grey-bluish and obviously fainter than B. Grand sight at 129x! |

CHR6 (Aa-Ab): This is a component of Iota Cas, STF 262 (which is a really pretty triple). CHR 6 at 1067x and seeing through the speckle image, I get elongation with a suspected blunter end which I assume is the B side, PA to the north [it's actually to the south -- my general orientation is correct but mis-interpret the brighter end]. Physical with 47 year period, currently at periastron and will tighten to 0.2" by 2036 |

AB-C is physical at 429 light years distance from us, and so is A-B, so this is a physical triple system. Very easy to find 3° due west of the Pleiades. |

A ist gelblich. B fiel sofort ins Auge, auch bei 144x. C war extrem schwierig. A musste außerhalb des Gesichtsfeldes stehen, aber auch dann war er nur indirekt sichtbar. Dann aber überraschte der verhältnismäßig große Abstand B-C. ~ A ist ein Hauptreihenstern ähnlich der Sonne. B ist ein weißer Zwerg, einer der hellsten am Himmel. C ist ein Roter Zwerg, davon gibt es nicht viele in der Reichweite kleiner Instrumente. Insgesamt hat man drei Zwergsterne auf einen Blick: Einen gewöhnlichen (=Hauptreihen-) Zwerg, einen weißen und einen roten. |

Just split. A little difficult. Suprisingly more difficult than STF572 about 15° to the northwest, although the numbers are very similar and the two systems are standing at identical elevation above horizon. At 40x STF742 is no longer definitely split, but M1 half a degree to the west is strong in 2° FOV by way of compensation. |

At 57x nothing seen at first sight. At 133x the much fainter component was visible after a short time as a tiny star in the correct position angle. With this knowledge, the observation at 57x was also successful, even if one has to look very closely. The challenge here is not so much the angular distance as the large difference in brightness. |

Already comparatively easy at 180x. The faint companion can be seen well as a quite distinct, slightly elongated, partly round brightening. At 225x and above it becomes easy and immediately apparent, even if the diffraction rings of the primary component are not permanently visible due to the seeing. The primary component was shining in a bright orange. |

The companion appears only in few moments as an extremely faint, elongated brightening in the diffraction ring. Very difficult. Telescope should be in very good optical condition! |

AB: Zeta Boo. Short period. First impression was moderately well notched overlapping disks (eg. not barely notched, but not strongly notched either). With more time observing & getting used to the image, and in moments of better seeing, the notch became more distinct. It would not separate in spite of moments of better seeing. I could also see the elongation, but only subtly notched due to the smaller scale, at 667x |

Hier handelt es sich um ein Dreifachsternsystem, welches jetzt aber nicht durch eine besondere Färbung der Sterne auffällt. Die A - B/C Komponenten stehen noch sehr weit auseinander, wobei auch die A-Komponente um einiges heller erscheint. Die beiden Komponenten B/C sind wesentlich näher beieinander und unterscheiden sich auch kaum in ihrer Helligkeit. |

bei 64x sind die Sterne so schwach, dass ich hellere Sterne im Umfeld zum Fokussieren nutzen muss - beide Komponenten sind als 8 erkennbar, die Einschnürung ist aber nur in guten Momenten da - bei 107x dann gelingt die Trennung, B wirkt deutlich schwächer (in Wirklichkeit ist B nur 0m4 schwächer), aber vielleicht liegt es daran, dass die beiden Sterne ohnehin nur sehr schwach beobachtbar sind - das hat wenig Freude bereitet |

AC7 (BC): Mu Her. Nice one to star with. STF 2220 A is a very bright light orange, and BC is widely separated blue, much fainter. I suspected B was also a pair at 333x, and could get a nice clean split with seeing at 533x, so I could tell an orientation and make a sketch (43-year period). Indeed it is a short period pair and I should be able to get at least a quarter turn out of it |

It would seem they should all be sharing orbits? Perhaps it just cries out for additional measures -- AB is grade 4 and BC is grade 5, so they are confident of physicality but there's not enough data to nail it down. |

naked eye |
While waiting for Comet Neowise at 3 in the morning in July 2020 surprised myself with my first naked-eye separation of Alpha1 und Alpha2 Capricornis (observing site at 50° northern latitude, Alpha1/2 passing through meridian). Encouraged by this, I lay down and had a close look at Epsilon Lyrae, without really expecting to be able to split it naked-eye, having never succeeded previously. At first Epsilon Lyrae appeared as a very short dash of light. Then the dash resolved into two pinpoints. After 15 years in the hobby and at age 60, at last got Eps Lyr split! No precise prior PA knowledge. After memorising PA as seen naked-eye carefully, confirmed it with binoculars. Eps Lyr is the third-easiest physical double in the (northern hemisphere) summer sky for the naked eye, after Zeta UMa (much easier) und Alpha Lib (marginally easier). |

V595 Lyr. Very tough! In unsettled seeing it is an elongation or lopsided at all powers. However at best moments it tightens enough to show a very subtle notch & also different brightness and color, A being light orange-yellow, and ~1 delta mag B a deeper orange. Discovered in 1902 at 0.2, it has only a 14.64 year period, it will make a rapid circuit to the other side by 2026 (though only 0.1"), and "widen" to 0.2" again by 2030. Should be fun to observe! |

Self-built binoculars, hence the unusual specification. Made of top-quality teleconverters, apochromatic and sharp to the edge.
With naked eye under good suburban sky 16 Cyg is just seen. In the 3x binoculars the double is split into two finest points of light in good moments despite the low magnification. A physical pair according to Stelledoppie.
Two-star rating awarded because this is a true physical pair that can be split with the smallest binoculars and reveals increasingly more with growing binocular size (brightness disctinction between A and B in 7x50, colour distinction in 15x45). |

The AB-C pair is easy at 205x, C is a faint star ~4" separated from bright A (8.41/11.97 4.0"). AB is much more difficult. At 1067x it is mostly overlapping disks & I can tell its orientation. But at repeated best moments, I get an instant of the finest hairline split with noticeable magnitude difference & I can estimate an orientation relative to nearby stars. It's PA [246°] is nearly perpendicular to AB-C [131°] -- this is how I confirmed I have it. Cocteau discovered it in 1968 with the Nice 30-inch refractor at 0.2". 42.46 year period, last observation in 2005, with grade 3 orbit (which is certain but not definitive). It is currently coming off apastron with the current orbital solution at 0.167" separation. It will tighten very rapidly the next few years, but even on the opposite side of it's orbit it will not be detectable by me, I need to wait until 2050 to try again -- but since the PA will be similar I won't notice that change. I can only look forward to the tightening and maybe detectability again. If is the 0.167" is correct I have exceeded the Raleigh, Dawes, and Sparrow criteria and it's a new personal best -- and given I did not split some similar pairs later in the night, I was very lucky with the seeing at the time of the observation |

DA1 (BC): This is part of STF 2690 A-BC, which is a white, wide, near equal, pair (7.12/7.39 17.7") observed with 8-inch at 205x. I suspected BC at 8-inch 333x, & had overlapping disks with 8-inch 533x. With 20-inch 533x I see a hairline split, slight magnitude difference. Seeing is not supporting it well, but it's clear. Very nice. Dawes discovered in 1840 at 0.7" -- probably with his 8-inch Cooke refractor -- so at current 0.369" it's not surprising I only had overlapping disks at 8-inch. It's a physical pair, with a 236.52 year period, and will widen another 0.1" in the next 15 years |

AB: Widely split and striking in field of view, as the pair is a little outside of the star cloud at the swan's tail that adjoins to the south. The A component appears yellowish. The attraction lies in the B component with delta-mag 4m6, which presents as a fine grey-blue pinprick of light. Alias 59 Cygni. |

Current separation 0.155". 314 year period, it will only make modest position angle change in my time. Burnham discovered in 1888 with the Lick 36-inch at 0.3"!

In 10x42 also clearly split, northern component of orange hue, southern component of indeterminate colour (sky not quite dark enough at the time to see 61 Cyg naked-eye). Piazzi’s Flying Star, flying more than 5” per year to the northeast, and a true physical double with a period of 678 years. |

Suspected with 667x. Exceedingly difficult, it's an elongated rod pointed a particular way from the reference star in the field. At moments of best seeing I detect two brightened ends of that rod, not quite split, but can tell is double. PA is now to the north and this closely matches my sketch, however my sense of which is A and B is reversed. 47.3 year period, at apastron now, it will not be detectable after 2030 |

Observed at magnifications between 129x and 300x. The seeing and transparency (Bortle 6-) were only average. The rather faint B component seemed to appear in few moments. |

Robert Zebahl

152mm (150x) |
The seeing was more average (3/5). Observation under suburban conditions (Bortle 6, SQM-L 19.1). Initially observed at 270x, later at 300x. The extremely faint companion was always visible at the same position if the air was steady enough. Difficult because of the low magnitude! |

Neatly split, whereby the first difraction rings of each component touch the Airy discs of the other. Component A in the north seems marginally more yellowish than component B in the south.
Zeta Aqr is called Sadaltager, meaning „Merchant’s Luck“. It is framed nicely by Pi, Gamma and Eta Aquarii, with which it forms a striking triangular asterism known as „The Tent“. Moreover, Zeta Aqr is a true physical double. This constellation and the beautiful telescopic appearance warrant a two-star rating. |

A1469 (CD): das Paar gehört zum interessanten Mehrfachsystem STF2922 - während bei 32x Komponente C nur knapp sichtbar ist, zeigt sich D wieder deutlicher - Abstand CD ist doppelt so groß wie BC (STF2922) |
|
René Merting
Drachhausen (Germany) |
100mm (32x) |
STF2922 (AB): AB: bei 32x sind beide Komponenten gut getrennt sichtbar - B im Süden ist eine halbe Größenklasse schwächer
BC: bei 32x schimmert südöstlich von der Komponente B ein ganz schwacher Lichtpunkt, die Komponente C, durch - Komponenten BC mit gleichem Abstand wie AB
nachrichtlich zu D: interessant ist das Mehrfachsystem allemal, denn in doppelter Entfernung weiter südöstlich steht eine vierte Komponente D (eigene Bezeichnung: A1469, D mit Helligkeit 9.08 mag), so dass 4 Sterne problemlos mit dieser Öffnung zu erfassen sind |
