it all started woith the splitting of orionis beta...
twas a clear night. transparencey was good and seeing on a scale of 1-10 would have been about 6 or 7. I dont know why i looked at rigel, maybe to align my finder? but i had the scope at 80X and with the new mask my f6 dob was now f15 great, i found for planets and doubles. anyhow I noticed that there was a faint blob coming off the side of this star so i fiddled with the focus thinking that it was out... it wasnt.
later I cecked it out and behold! it was a double! and suposedly a hard one.
now i wanna chase them.
