145 CMa AKA The Winter Albireo
145 CMa does remind one of Albireo and in several places it is called 'The Winter Albireo. As if it did not have enough names it is also h3945 or John Herschel 3945.
It is very low for me up at +36 dec so I bet it is stunning down below -30 dec. You all get all the good views! (well certainly the majority of good views but not all I guess).
A favorite triple of many folks in the local astronomy gang up here is 40 Eri which is also charted as omicron 2 Eri sometimes. Here you can see one of the few viewable red dwarfs as well as one of the few white dwarfs we can see from what I have been told. You all still have a shot at that one but it is gone at this time for us northern folk.
Thanks for the list
