Observed with the 6-inch. High haze and the seeing wasn't very good, but ok enough at high elevations to get some good results. Ended the night with views of Saturn and the moon, both good at low power but they were still low to the horizon.
A 382 AB: 152; 250x: Very closely split, >2 Dm, very challenging pair. Surprisingly, -37% PRO, it is not binary.

AC 12 AB: 152; 250x: Split with 125x but best seen 250x, closely split, half delta magnitude, dull white stars, nice pair. 24% PRO, 161 AU WS, 1.8+1.5 Msol, it might be binary and needs an orbit tried.
19h 58m 22.77s -02° 13' 54.4" P.A. 298.00 sep 1.6 mag 7.54,8.32 Sp F5 dist. 100.6 pc (328.16 l.y.)
AC 17 AB: 152; 250x: Bright light-yellow A, extremely faint B is well separated and appears with best seeing as a very small point. Excellent telescope contrast helps to detect B. 50% PRO, 462 AU WS, 2.7+0.9 Msol, it is possibly binary and needs an orbit tried.

BU 266 AB: 152; 200x: B appears with averted vision then can hold with foveal coaxing, white, wide, 3 Dm. 17% PRO, 2,874 AU WS, 2.3+1.0 Msol, but the RVD 3.3 > EV 1.4, it is not binary.

BU 1475 AB: 152; 200x: Red AB is well separated, 1 Dm, and points in the general direction of the white C star, which itself has a very faint, 3 Dm close companion. AB: 66% PRO, 6,920 AU WS, 5.1+3.1 Msol, and RVD 2.6 > EV 1.5, it is not binary. CD -88% PRO, it is not binary.
AB: 19h 57m 53.70s -09° 03' 30.3" P.A. 113.00 sep 10.4 mag 7.77,9.47 Sp K2 dist. 247.52 pc (807.41 l.y.)

BU 655 AB: 152; 250x: Component of STF2549 The Struve system is a slightly arced string of three stars with a fainter AC in the middle, near-equal AD at either end. A is reddish color. These three also seen with the 60mm 40x. With 250x and averted vision, I can see the very faint BU 655 AB appear closely separated from A. AB is -1% PRO, 702 AU WS, there is some chance it's binary and an orbit should be tried. AC and AD do not share any parallax range and are not binary.
