Temperature -6C Seeing excellent. 52 Orionis: classic Dawes pair; both components magnitude +6, separation 1” with secondary to the southwest of the primary; split by a hair at 281x 32 Orionis: 1.3” separation, magnitude differential 1.3, secondary well resolved at 281x north east of the primary. Eta Geminorum (Propus); enjoyed best ever view of secondary. Employed the Baader fringe killer to reduce glare of the bright, red giant primary. 1.6” separation, magnitude delta between components ~ 2.65. Beautifully resolved @281 diameters west of primary; definite bluish tint in secondary. Theta Aurigae; components separated by 3.8” but huge magnitude differential(~4.5). A 7th magnitude spark well resolved just northwest of primary. Lamda Cygni: 0.9” magnitude delta between components ~1.8. Pair unresolved at all magnifications (up to 350x). Classic figure 8 morphology orientated north to south. Achromatic telescope resolves to theoretical limits with my average eyes. Tonya; Triumphator!
