x181 17' TF. The telescope is forming lovely small fairly stable Airy discs. Absolutely beautiful ***. The components almost form a RA Tri, just --acute from this. A is mag 7. B & C are both mag 8.5, 8" and 12" separated in PA 80 and 40. C is only perhaps 1/10th mag dimmer than B. Very, very pretty.

Interesting - thanks Les.
Follow up question - how did you drag that 10 year old obs. report up? Do you have them nicely indexed in a database?
