21 september 2025

Spent the night with the 20-inch, with average transparency and seeing.  I cleaned the mirror beforehand as it has been many weeks since I've used the scope.  I observed a couple doubles but I've tapped out the CDSA list, and the seeing wasn't good enough to observe movement pairs.  I was left to observe stars off the red color star list.  A nice night all the same.

STF2367 AB: 508; 560x: Light orange stars, suspected double with lower power, good clean split with 560x, 1 Dm, PA to the NE, with wide AB-C to the south.  No Gaia parallax data for A.  SOC grade 2 orbit, 92.2-year period, it is approaching periastron and will hang near its current position for the next 20 years.
18h 41m 16.36s +30° 17' 40.9" P.A. 71.00 sep 0.4 mag 7.70,8.03 Sp G3IV dist. 136.05 pc (443.8 l.y.)
STF2431 A 178; 140x: Wide 3 Dm.  This was on the red star list.  The primary is not particularly red, the faint companion is slightly so. 30% PRO, 6,475 AU WS, 4.3+1.9 Msol, 0.08 PMV, it is possibly binary and an orbit can be tried.
18h 58m 46.59s +40° 40' 45.1" P.A. 236.00 sep 19.0 mag 6.17,9.61 Sp B3V dist. 300.3 pc (979.58 l.y.)

STTA171 AB: 178; 140x: Light yellow A and wide unequal B.
18h 32m 51.48s +38° 49' 59.8" P.A. 328.00 sep 150.1 mag 7.02,8.12 Sp F8+G5
