29 september 2021

A little out of order but it's been a busy time.  This was from the other night; seeing was good enough to open up the 20-inch but not good enough to push the magnifications very high.  Typical haze from the bay built up by 11pm.

STF2726 AB: 508; 205x: 52 Cyg.  Very bright light yellow-orange A and much fainter, obvious B, well split, same color.  WDS uncertain, however there is no overlap in their parallax ranges, so not gravitational.
20h 45m 39.76s +30° 43' 10.8" P.A. 72.00 sep 5.9 mag 4.33,9.53 Sp G9III dist. 61.65 pc (201.1 l.y.)

STF2716 AB: 508; 205x: 49 Cyg.  Light orange pair, about 2 delta mag.  Spectral class G2III (yellow).  WDS uncertain, there is only 1% parallax range overlap, 757 AU weighted separation, and large 4.62/2.40 solar mass.  
20h 41m 02.54s +32° 18' 26.3" P.A. 44.00 sep 2.7 mag 5.75,8.10 Sp G2III dist. 244.5 pc (797.56 l.y.)

A   378 AB: 508; 205x: Excellent near equal split, light orange stars.  Spectral class G5 (yellow).  WDS 591-year period, and it appears to be starting to make a rapid closure to periastron by 2060.  There is 37% parallax range overlap, 139 AU weighted separation, and 1.84/1.56 solar mass.
19h 59m 22.02s +32° 06' 28.0" P.A. 291.40 sep 0.8 mag 8.48,8.98 Sp G5

BU 1133 AB: 508; 445x: B glimpsed with seeing at 445x, a solid point in some flaring from A.  Suspected at 333x.  WDS says physical, and unfortunately there is no parallax data on the companion.  Burnham discovered on the Lick 36-inch at 0.9".
19h 59m 39.13s +31° 49' 35.4" P.A. 342.00 sep 1.1 mag 6.67,9.91 Sp A0 dist. 158.98 pc (518.59 l.y.)

A   379 AB: 508; 205x: Very nice, White A holding a steady disk, and faint B is nicely separated, <3", around 4 delta mag.  WDS says not physical, and there is no parallax data on the companion.
19h 59m 41.80s +30° 54' 50.2" P.A. 227.00 sep 2.6 mag 7.58,11.08 Sp B6II dist. 450.45 pc (1469.37 l.y.)

BU 1258 AB: 508; 333x: Very fine, 3 delta mag, 2" separation, white A and dull yellow B.  WDS uncertain, and there is no parallax data for the companion.  Burnham discovered on the Lick 36-inch at 1.5" while attempting to measure BU 439.  
20h 00m 15.54s +29° 55' 14.3" P.A. 143.00 sep 1.4 mag 7.47,10.90 Sp A0V dist. 213.22 pc (695.52 l.y.)

L    32 AB: 508; 205x: Near equal, well split, seems double... rich field with many other wide type pairs.  WDS says not physical, and there is no overlap (-64%) of the parallax ranges.

COU1806 AB: 508; 333x: Excellent near equal pair, faint and very close, split with 205x, wider with 333x.  WDS uncertain, and there is no parallax range overlap (-25%).

ES  498 AB: 508; 205x: Like many Espins, this B star needed averted vision to show itself.  Very faint, wide.  WDS uncertain, but there is no parallax range overlap (-97%)
20h 05m 42.33s +30° 19' 39.3" P.A. 309.00 sep 8.3 mag 8.86,12.50 Sp F5V dist. 82.99 pc (270.71 l.y.)

GYL  88 AB: 508; 205x: Unremarkable faint wide pair.  A.N. Goyal.  WDS says physical, and there is 19% parallax range overlap, but a very wide 16,756 AU weighted separation, 2.67/2.41 solar mass.  Needs more time and observations before calling it.

A   281 AB: 508; 205x: White stars, obvious, 1 delta mag, well split.  WDS uncertain, but there is 79% parallax range overlap, 572 AU weighted separation, 1.51/1.36 solar mass, so likely gravitational.
