Observing Notes

Oct 10, 2020 Waikoloa, HI (map)
20cm f/6 Newtonian, Cave Astrola @ 76x
Seeing: 6 Transparency: 6 Moon: 0%
Orange, two 10th magnitude companions visible 1' west and 2' south
The WDS listed B companion is 1' west and is apparently not a physical companion with a parallax of 9mas and very different proper motion. The WDS C companion 2' south does appear to be about the same distance with a parallax of 4.00mas compared to LP Aqr at 4.10mas, however the proper motions are dramatically different in the Gaia DR2 data
