Next clear night I will check it out with my MCT.

Hello Paul.
I do hope you will get another look at Achird once again very soon.
Yes - I can see where you get your reddish colour from.
But I am looking forward to your next observation of this fascinating binary.
I was able to go up to 225X last New Year's Night.
The double looks truly brilliant as I up the power!
Clear skies for 2018,
Aubrey.
