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

The low power (37.5X) view of Mizar and Alcor provides a nice scale of wide and closely spaced doubles mixed with several field stars. The primary of Zeta UMA appeared brilliant blue with what appeared to be a purplish-blue secondary. 80 UMA took on a cyanish blue appearance. The separation between Zeta and 80 UMA was about half the field of my 10 mm eyepiece, or about 720 arc seconds. The actual value is 711 arc seconds. The close double of Zeta UMA, separated by 14.5 arc seconds is also catalogued as Struve 1744.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
