Had another late start last night, around 10pm, but I observed until 12:30 and racked up more observations than I thought I would. I intended to go to a dark sky site but family needs kept me home. Seeing was middling, 6/10 at best, and transparency was well off, 2-3/5. I could smell the moisture in the air. So I found myself limited to the magnitude and type of splits I could get. I did get a couple new designations, so not all lost:
STF 2419: AB: 8" 333x: Seeing surprisingly and frustratingly bad. Bloated stars. This pair at 333x about half delta mag, well split 3" white.
18h 55m 28.52s +29° 13' 35.8" P.A. 177 sep 3.4 mag 9.13,9.44 Sp F2 dist. 169.49 pc (552.88 l.y.)
BU 648 AB, AB-C: 8" 333x: Tigher pair 3 delta mag, at first diffraction, needed critical focus and seeing. Second pair very wide, rather much fainter.
18h 57m 01.61s +32° 54' 04.6" P.A. 234.5 sep 1.31 mag 5.34,7.96 Sp G0V dist. 14.87 pc (48.51 l.y.)
A 260 AB: 20" 667x: At 8", small and faint suspected split at 333x: 8" 667x stars are hazy. At 20" 667x got a clean wide split two hard paints of stars.
18h 57m 34.07s +32° 09' 20.2" P.A. 244 sep 0.8 mag 9.17,9.60 Sp A0
STF 2422: 8" 333x: Excellent hairline split at 333x with eight inch. Near equal white stars. Picked them out in a crowded field, suspected elongation right away, split with seeing as I centered it in eyepiece, and from then it was a steady split
PPM 108136 = WDS J18582+2924A 20" 667x: Wide one delta mag, light yellow and light blue
ES 2670 AB: 20" 667x: Wide two delta mag

COU 817 AB 20" 667x: Very tight but fairly well split near equal stars, transparency and seeing not cooperating, but can split when seeing allows 18h 58m 42.66s +27° 45' 01.1" P.A. 198 sep 1 mag 11.30,11.30
BU 649 AB: 20" 667x: Not difficult, showed right away on edge of field as an elongated smear which resolved with seeing and in the center of field, used averted vision to bring out B star.18h 58m 53.75s +32° 28' 32.8" P.A. 2 sep 0.9 mag 8.70,11.90 Sp F0
AGC 9 AB = Sulafat;2019 August 31 11:14p;8" masked 20";b star immediately picked out of A's glow like a piece of debris suspended in the explosion, a planet almost hanging in the halo.

COU 1156 AB 20" 667x: ! I tried this earlier but failed, so I came back since seeing was letting me get similar pairs. Near qual small and at best moments a clean split, still, just nice points. great star.19h 00m 34.25s +33° 01' 24.8" P.A. 111 sep 0.7 mag 11.14,11.25

STF 2461 AB = 17 Lyr: 20" 667x: ! Huge delta mag. B is obvious in 20", though A's diffraction was horrible. Used mask to clean it up but the B star momentarily disappeared, though I could eventually pull it back out with seeing and critical focus. 4 delta mag.
