Observing Notes

Oct 24, 2023 Waikoloa, HI (map)
20cm f/6 Newtonian, Cave Astrola @ 76x
Seeing: 6 Transparency: 7 Moon: 0%
Blue-white, a 9th magnitude companion easily visible 36" southeast, with a 10th magnitude star visible 43" beyond that, an 8th magnitude companion is listed but at 530" distance it is difficult to take seriously
Gaia EDR3 data notes HR 2922 is a high proper motion star with a substantial parallax of 13.6mas. Gaia data also reveals that the WDS B and C companions observed to the southeast are both background stars. While the 8th magnitude star HD 60766 visible 530" south-southwest does share similar parallax and proper motion.
There is another companion shown in the Gaia data, a 16th magnitude white dwarf candidate 18" southwest that also shares the same parallax and proper motion, this star is not listed in WDS.
