6 july 2024

A good, if short night.  Seeing was variable, sometimes pretty good, other times choppy.  I used the 20-inch for some observations, but was mostly masked to 7-inches.  Continued the CDSA lightly physical list.  I was a bit tired, and seeing wasn't getting any better, so wrapped up after an hour.

STF1888 AB: 178; 200x: Beautiful yellow A and orange B, 3 Dm, well separated. 41% PRO, 49 AU WS, 0.9+0.6 Msol, RVD 1.5 < EV 7.3, SOC grade 2 orbit 152.9-year period, it will tighten over the next 20 years but still be 2.5" separated, since the binary is only 22 light years distant from us.

HO  399 AB: 178; 150x: Could not see B at first, so used full 20-inch aperture to find it and notice the position angle, through the star images were distorted.  Masked down to 7-inch and after averted vision, looking in the correct position angle, could very faintly see B, wide.  3% PRO, 622 AU WS, 2.2+1.0 Msol, RVD 2.6 < EV 3.0, it is likely binary and needs an orbit.
