Observation Notes:<\/b><\/p>\n

This was a nice close double. The bright primary was on the southeast side with a deep orange secondary on the northwest side.

My sketch estimates the position angle at about 310\u00c2\u00b0 with a separation of 25″. The AL double star list values are 307\u00c2\u00b0 and 12″.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
