Thank you, Pat, for disclosing your equipment information.

By the way, the weather people are not giving us much hope for clear skies this week. The IAS are having a meeting tomorrow night. Perhaps I could meet you at it to shake your hand for all your changes you have given me in recent times.

with work and such it will not be possible but thank you for asking me maybe some
other time. Yes the skies are not to good looking this week but you never know..

Great report Aubrey, I would have got in more double/multiple stars over the weekend at the bsp if we had more time, reports like yours are rekindling my interest in them, I used to track a lot of them down many years ago but in recent times had passed them by.

Carrying around my 20" obsession is going to kill me,
but what a way to go. :)

Hello Dave, that 20'' Obsession you have should be able to split some tight doubles
if the seeing allows of course.

51 Observing sessions!!! That's some achievement Aubrey. I've managed 12, but it's only October, so i can still catch up :laugh: How many observations do you think you've made in total?

Eh -I don't know. I started observing in the late 1970's.

With this 158mm apochromatic refractor: 198. Goodness me: I am surprised at that!! Perhaps number 200 will be a special night.

Perhaps you might make 20 for 2014!

Clear skies,
Aubrey.
