Clear day and night, but with merely average transparency and slightly better seeing -- which seemed like a gift after so poor a season. I observed the sun during the day, with the amazingly complex sunspot near the center of the disc (3576), very elongated and with an incredibly long and thin light bridge stretching along nearly the entire length. Quite the sight. Some nice prominences too. I decided to start observing earlier in the evening, so I had about an hour before going into the house to wish the kids goodnight and take a short break. Speaking of shorts, I seem to have one on my dew controller, as I burned through three fuses. Fortunately, there wasn't much dew until the very end of the night, near 11pm, when a high thin haze started to spread across the sky.

STF1154 AB: 152; 150x: 1 Dm, close split. -16% PRO, it is not binary.
07h 52m 08.46s -03° 03' 14.9" P.A. 353.00 sep 2.8 mag 7.13,9.26 Sp A5 dist. 111.98 pc (365.28 l.y.)
STF1353 AB: 152; 150x: Faint near equal white stars, close split. 86% PRO, 339 AU WS, 1.1+1.1 Msol, it is likely binary and needs a binary.
09h 27m 39.28s +15° 44' 32.0" P.A. 125.00 sep 3.3 mag 9.91,9.98 Sp G5 dist. 96.06 pc (313.35 l.y.)
J388 AB: 152; 125x: = STF1354. Very faint B seen with foveal coaxing, around 10" separation. 33% PRO, 2,321 AU WS, 3.2+1.6 Msol, but RVD 3.3 > EV 1.9, it is not binary.
09h 27m 32.84s +10° 53' 53.9" P.A. 351.00 sep 4.9 mag 8.62,11.80 Sp K0
STF1356 AB: 152; 200x: Hairline split in moments of good seeing, 1 Dm light orange stars. No Gaia data for the companion. SOC grade 2 orbit, 117.9-year period, it is near apistron now and will remain well split through 2060.
09h 28m 27.41s +09° 03' 24.4" P.A. 116.00 sep 0.9 mag 5.69,7.28 Sp F9IV dist. 33.17 pc (108.2 l.y.)
