8 august 2025

Another night of predicted good seeing, which was more or less correct.  Observed with the 20-inch again from 10:30pm to midnight.  I observed one super close CDSA piar, but have exhausted my CDSA and movement pair lists for this part of the sky -- fall weather usually being the clearest and with best seeing -- so I observed from a red star list.  Most appeared light yellow or orange to me, though the color was stronger with more magnification.  I used the 7-inch mask for most of these as the star images were much cleaner.  While the colored stars are pretty to look at, my descriptions are a rather uninspired record of their color only.

AGC 10 AB: 508; 1270x: Light orange unequal stars, hairline split 1016x and up.  Wide fainter blue star nearby to west (STF 2570 AB-C).   No Gaia parallax data for the primary but given their closeness an orbit can be tried.
