Condition: G6

Location: Home, Spearfish: 44.49, -103.87

9:07PM

Target: ι Trianguli

Const: Triangulum

RaDec: 2h12m +30°18

Scope: ST80

Setting: 150x

Double: AB: 60°

Image

Found south-east of β Trianguli. Close split, both appear a cold white-blue.

9:16PM

Target: λ Arietis

Const: Aries

RaDec: 1h57m +23°36

Scope: ST80

Setting: 59x

Double: AB: 50°

Image

Cool white color. Almost thought it was a multiple star at first since caught a glimpse of a "glint" of light between the primary and secondary.

9:21PM

Target: γ Arietis

Const: Aries

RaDec: 1h53m +19°18

Scope: ST80

Setting: 59x

Double: AB: 0° or 180°

Image

Can not tell which is the primary and which is the secondary, so I'm recording both PA's. Both are white in color, but only one of them has a little yellow in it.

9:39PM

Target: M 33

Const: Triangulum

RaDec: 1h33m +30°39

Scope: ST80

Setting: 21x, AV

Image

Only detectable at the lowest magnifications. It's even detectable in my finder-scope. The moment I zoom in past 21x, I loose it completely. This object is so faint I can't make out much more than a guess of a size with AV. I can detect a "patch" of something there between the 4 stars, and it seems to be large enough to mostly occupy that space, but I cannot get any details.

9:49PM

Target: 65 Piscium

Const: Pisces

RaDec: 0h49m +27°43

Scope: ST80

Setting: 150x

Double: AB: 100° or 280°

Image

Very close and for some reason I had a ton of trouble getting a clear focus. No matter how much I micro-focused, it remained semi-blurry. I was able to get it clear enough to guess the PA though. Both appear white-blue in color.

9:55PM

Target: ψ 1 Piscium

Const: Pisces

RaDec: 1h05m +21°28

Scope: ST80

Setting: 59x

Double: AB: 160°

Image

The split was immediately visible. Similar in size and brightness. White color.
