Observed with the 6-inch through average seeing and worsening transparency. Still a lot seen, mostly in the south:
STF1604 AB: 152; 125x: Very pretty triple star, forming a nearly equilateral triangle, light orange stars, the brightest >1 Dm than the next brightest, which is a half magnitude brighter than C. Seen with the 60mm too. AB do no share any parallax range overlap, -99%. AC have -3% parallax range overlap, though the other specs (231 AU weighted separation, 1.0+0.6 Msol, 2.0 RVD vs. 3.5 EV) indicate binary they are all likely a line of sight asterism.
12h 09m 28.54s -11° 51' 25.4" P.A. 88.00 sep 9.0 mag 6.86,10.00 Sp G3V dist. 22.22 pc (72.48 l.y.)
STF1659 AB: 152; 125x: Quite the asterism: one large equilateral triangle composed of to equal magnitude white stars and one slightly unequal. Inside this is a pointed triangle of slightly fainter stars, the two closest together are near equal magnitude and the point star 1 Dm. The two closest stars of the inner triangle have the closest parallax, but they do not overlap, -64%. It remains a very entertaining asterism.

STF1628 AB: 152; 125x: Near equal white stars, wide. 18% parallax range overlap, 1,428 AU weighted separation, 1.4+1.2 Msol, and 0.5 RVD vs 1.8 ES, it might be binary and need an orbit tried.
12h 18m 42.90s +11° 47' 46.3" P.A. 239.00 sep 9.5 mag 9.52,10.11 Sp G0 dist. 102.46 pc (334.22 l.y.)
STF1612 AB: 152; 125x: Faint pair, closely split, seen with direct vision, nice, with seeing. 72% overlap of the parallax ranges, 1,175 AU weighted separation, 1.3+1.2 Msol, and 0.6 RVD vs. 1.9 ES, it is likely binary and needs an orbit tried.
12h 12m 34.50s +10° 46' 18.2" P.A. 7.00 sep 5.6 mag 10.45,10.97 Sp G0
STF1619 AB: 152; 125x: Near equal light-yellow stars, well split, with a very wide faint C. -12% parallax range overlap, it is not binary, in spite of the grade 5 orbit in SOC.
12h 15m 06.57s -07° 15' 26.4" P.A. 265.20 sep 6.8 mag 8.06,8.30 Sp G5 dist. 35.19 pc (114.79 l.y.)

STF1636 AB: 152; 125x: Brilliant white primary and 2 Dm fainter wide B. There is 54% parallax range overlap, 625 AU weighted separation, 1.2+0.7 Msol, and 2.2 RVD vs. 2.3 ES, it may be binary and needs an orbit tried.

STF1647 AB: 152; 200x: Excellent near equal pair, split with 125x but best seen at 200x. There is -8% parallax range overlap, so in spite of the 130 AU weighted separation, 1.4+1.5 Msol, and the grade 4 SOC orbit, it might not be binary.
12h 30m 33.75s +09° 42' 56.4" P.A. 249.50 sep 1.3 mag 8.09,8.37 Sp F2 dist. 92.51 pc (301.77 l.y.)
STF1648 AB: 152; 125x: Light yellow and light blue stars, good close split. 54% overlap of the parallax ranges, 2,329 AU weighted separation, 3.1+1.7 Msol, the 2.8 RVD is greater than the 1.9 ES, indicating not binary.
