17 october 2022, cassiopeia struves

Had one mostly clear night, though transparency was off 3/5, and seeing was also average 5-6/10.  So off came the cover on the 6-inch f/15 refractor and in for a night of Struves.

STF7 AB: 152; 250x: Close, slightly unequal.  WDS uncertain, but there is 86% parallax range overlap, only 546 AU weighted separation, 3.1+2.8 Msol, and the radial velocity delta 0.0 is less than the escape velocity 4.4, so it is likely binary and needs an orbit.
00h 11m 38.91s +55° 57' 40.9" P.A. 210.00 sep 1.3 mag 7.99,8.46 Sp B8V dist. 598.8 pc (1953.29 l.y.)

STF9 AB: 152; 125x: Wide, equal 9th magnitude stars.  WDS says it's physical, but there is no overlap of the parallax ranges -20%, and the weighted separation is 17,218 AU -- too far, it is not binary.
00h 13m 44.16s +49° 33' 32.0" P.A. 165.00 sep 20.0 mag 9.34,9.25 Sp A2

STF10 AB: 152; 125x: Wide, slightly unequal pair.  Very faint C star close to B.  WDS says it's physical, but there's no overlap of the parallax ranges -32%, it is not binary.

STF16 AB: 152; 125x: Wide, 1 Dm, light orange stars.  WDS uncertain, but there is 13% overlap of the parallax ranges, only 949 AU weighted separation, 2.1+1.5 Msol, so it is possible it is binary.
00h 16m 41.65s +54° 39' 36.5" P.A. 40.00 sep 5.8 mag 7.68,8.78 Sp A3 dist. 123.92 pc (404.23 l.y.)

STF38 AB: 152; 125x: Wide near equal stars.  WDS says they're physical, but there's no overlap of the parallax ranges, -12%, and the weighted separation is a bit far at 7,349 AU, it is not likely binary.

STF65 AB 152; 125x: Near equal white stars, fairly close.  WDS uncertain, but there is 73% overlap of the parallax ranges, only 656 AU weighted separation, 2.2+2.2 Msol, and the radial velocity delta 0 is less than the escape velocity 3.5, it is likely binary and needs an orbit.
00h 52m 45.61s +68° 51' 59.3" P.A. 221.00 sep 3.2 mag 8.00,8.02 Sp A2 dist. 255.75 pc (834.26 l.y.)

STF114 AB: 152: 150x: Very significant Dm, closely split, with seeing.  WDS uncertain, and there is no overlap of the parallax ranges, -42%, so it is not binary.
