STF 2665: Main pair wide and reddish color, B about 3x fainter. A third star half a FOV makes it appear as a long narrow triangle. [AB 6.88, 9.55; 3.3". The BC C is 10.80, and only 0.1" separated from B; so this was not seen. The third star mentioned is a nicely placed optical pairing? Stelle Doppie says there are four stars visible but doesn't show a D, or even a visible third.]
HU 1197: Not seen [7.5, 12.3; 1.2". B star too faint to see, too close to A.]
STF 2673: Faint but well-split, ~3 disk separation. B ~2 magnitudes fainter. A is blue-green, B reddish; pretty. [I saw the AB pair, 8.29, 9.75; 2.3". There is a AC pair, 8.60 & 76.8", and even a CD, 11.43 15.6"]
Ho 131: !! Yes! Seeing needed to be perfectly still so that A's diffraction disappeared; then B would emerge from the dark as a very faint point to the NW, about 3 disks away. Very nice observation! [AB 6.97, 10.60; 3.5". There are also AC and AD pairs, much more widely separated and even fainter.]
BU 987: Not seen. [AB 6.80, 11.10; 2.6". I did not try for AC, AE, or CD.]
1 Delphini: 1 disk split to the NNW when seeing stills. A tough observation; but sure since it is round and faint point and does not disappear when diffraction stills. [6.20, 8.02; 0.9". There is a 14.9 mag C pair further out. 1 Del is a fascinating star that spins once in 0.9 earth days! See http://stars.astro.illinois.edu/sow/1del.html].
BU 664: Not seen. I do see a very faint star further out but it's too far to be a pair. [AB 7.23, 12.70; 8.6". There is a 13.6 mag C, but too faint for me to have seen last night.]
MR Del / AG 257: Uncertain. I do see one pair, but the B is averted vision only -- blinks into view -- but is too far away to be the pair. Getting too low for good seeing. [9.49, 9.77; 1.7" ~2000 year period.]
BU 1208: Not seen; platform ran out of arc while trying to find this, so needed to reset. [6.95, 11.0; 3.1"]
STF 2701: Well split orange-yellow pair, A ~1x brighter. [8.32, 8.59; 2.1"]
STF 2713: Exactly same brightness, very wide split. Must have formed exactly at the same time, of exactly the same amount of stuff. Seeing becoming watery. [9.8, 9.8; 4.9"].
STF 2718: Same brightness white pair. [8.28, 8.39; 8.6". A 9.02 star is bound to both A & B 167" out.]
STF 2720: Well separated, near equal magnitude, slightly orange. [7.8, 9.9; 2.6"]
STF 2721: Nice! Well split, slight orange A, reddish B, ~3 magnitude difference. [7.8, 9.9; 2.6"]
STF 2722: Can stretch this into same FOV with STF 2721 edge to edge. Wide split and nearly equal magnitude. [8.32, 8.94; 7.5"]
STF 2725: Super wide, 1 magnitude difference; both faint yellow-white. [7.54, 8.2; 6.1"]
