More Leo Doubles:
March 10th and 11th were 8/10 seeing on the south coast and I managed a few more old double friends from Leo:
Gamma was easily split at about X160 with both burnished yellow and the companion a slightly deeper gold. (A good test of seeing for me)
7 Leo: yellow and blue pair wide with a fainter equal pair in low power field.
6. Leo a deep yellow and blue pair( recurrent colours in many of Leo doubles). Easy split X100.
90 Leo: Another wide and easy pair of white and greyish blue.
Delta Leo is set in an interesting low power field. It is flanked on both sides by fainter companions with another blue one in the field.
Theta is as expected a clean white with a blue companion.
Iota is still too tight for me.
Finally, upon revisiting 93 Leo, I give it the Leo gold medal for its colour contrast, of light yellow and rose with the similar pair but dimmer of whitish and blue in the same field, as viewed on March 11th.
I am also interested in all your magnitude estimates of R Leonis in the coming weeks.
Regards, Eugene
