A pretty good night with the 6-inch refractor. Transparency was average, gradually getting more hazy by 11pm. Seeing started out poor but improved by 10pm, and was good at higher elevations. Spent most of the time chasing CDSA pairs in Andromeda, then viewed Saturn near culmination, and then the moon after it cleared the neighbor's roof.
00h 20m 54.10s +32° 58' 40.9" P.A. 291.00 sep 1.9 mag 7.27,8.26 Sp F5V dist. 67.93 pc (221.59 l.y.)
BU 397 AB: 152; 125x: Light orange A, and wide, nearly 2 Dm faint B seen directly but on the edge of needing averted vision. -54% PRO, it is not binary.
01h 07m 49.57s +46° 50' 31.6" P.A. 142.00 sep 8.7 mag 7.54,10.25 Sp K0II-IIIp dist. 172.71 pc (563.38 l.y.)
BU 997 AB: 152; 125x: 2 Dm, closely separated, white. 45% PRO, 290 AU WS, 1.5+0.9 Msol, it is possibly binary and needs an orbit.
00h 04m 57.53s +45° 40' 25.6" P.A. 338.00 sep 3.8 mag 7.64,9.39 Sp F8IV-V dist. 71.12 pc (231.99 l.y.)
H 5 17 AB: 152; 125x: Brilliant white A and wide faint B. 56% PRO, 6,302 AU WS, 4.8+1.8 Msol, it might be binary and an orbit should be tried.
00h 36m 52.84s +33° 43' 09.7" P.A. 175.00 sep 36.2 mag 4.36,7.08 Sp B5V dist. 183.49 pc (598.54 l.y.)
HJ 1947 AB: 152; 250x: Bright white A, very faint 3-4 Dm B which I can only hold after foveal coaxing, and with higher powers only, though it is a wide separation. 27% PRO, 888 AU WS, but the RVD 3.2 > EV 2.6, it is not binary.
00h 16m 21.50s +43° 35' 42.4" P.A. 76.00 sep 8.3 mag 6.16,9.83 Sp A2VpSi dist. 106.5 pc (347.4 l.y.)
HJ 5451 AB: 152; 125x: Faint pair, wide, nearly 1 Dm. -13% PRO, it is not binary.
00h 31m 25.64s +33° 34' 53.9" P.A. 86.00 sep 55.3 mag 6.01,9.34 Sp K1III dist. 116.14 pc (378.85 l.y.)
MAD 1 AB: 152; 250x: Hairline split with seeing, unequal. -11% PRO, 1.8% error. 179 AU WS, 2.5+1.9 Msol, it is possible this isn't binary. SOC grade 5 orbit, 925-year period. It has only a 0.02 proper motion vector -- I predict this will turn out not to be binary.
01h 00m 35.58s +47° 19' 14.6" sep 0.9 mag 7.66,9.05 Sp A2
STF 3 AB: 152; 125x: White stars, nearly 1 Dm, wide. -62% PRO, it is not binary.

STF 19 AB: 152; 175x: 2 Dm, closely separated. 44% PRO, 312 AU WS, 2.2+1.3 Msol, it is possibly binary and needs an orbit.
00h 16m 43.02s +36° 37' 47.4" P.A. 140.00 sep 2.3 mag 7.12,9.48 Sp A2V dist. 126.42 pc (412.38 l.y.)

STF 47 AB: 152; 125x: Wide 1.5 Dm pair. -68% PRO, it is not binary. A faint, 11th magnitude star, more widely separated, forms an arc with the other two--but doesn't share parallax with either of them.
00h 40m 19.78s +24° 03' 14.0" P.A. 206.00 sep 16.2 mag 7.25,8.82 Sp A4III dist. 131.58 pc (429.21 l.y.)

01h 00m 03.56s +44° 42' 47.7" P.A. 194.00 sep 7.9 mag 6.04,6.77 Sp B9.5V+A2V dist. 119.05 pc (388.34 l.y.)
STT 11 AB: 152; 125x: Very wide, equal. -15% PRO and 29,447 AU WS, it is not binary.
00h 30m 39.88s +32° 08' 11.4" P.A. 317.00 sep 197.6 mag 7.57,7.70 Sp F2 dist. 157.48 pc (513.7 l.y.)
STT 21 AB: 152; 250x: Excellent pair, appears to be 2 Dm, very closely split. -55% PRO, it is not binary, in spite of the SOC grade 5 orbit.
