Thanks for the info especially regarding Dunlop 20.

There are a few other doubles in Pictor but they were getting too faint for my little refractor and the light pollution. It seems, while I can see down to somewhere between 11.5 and 11.8 in magnitude, I think for pairs I would not want to go fainter than about 9.5 for the primary. Still that gives enough doubles outlast my lifetime.

I am still having fun getting the hang of estimating sizes of objects in the eyepiece - need to work on it a bit more.

Les, out of curiosity, and sorry if it has been addressed previously elsewhere on the forum, do you keep your observing entries electronically?

Regards,
Coen
