Antares, Grafias, Sabik & Tau Oph - a hard night's graft!

Hello,

Here are another 4 beautiful sets of multiple stars; Antares, Grafias, Sabik and Tau Oph. I finally got below 1".

I was hampered by the persistent jet stream so again found myself with only a handful of frames to select, via Registax, from avi files of 1600 frames each. I was almost thrown, initially confusing Grafias with Graffias, both in Scorpius!

Sabik is barely resolved at 0.63” and SkyTools informs me that the Dawes limit for the M180 is 0.6”, so there is more to discover yet, when the jet stream finally abates and better seeing returns to the skies of Brisbane. This has been my hardest day at the doubles office so far.

Cheers

Dennis
