Observing Notes

20cm f/6 Newtonian, Cave Astrola @ 153x
Seeing: 7 Transparency: 5.5 Moon: 0%
A nice multiple, the C component is immediately visible as a 7.3 magnitude companion 7.6" to the northeast, bumping up the magnification with an 8mm allows the AB pair to be split into two equally bright (4.9/5.2 magnitude) pale yellow stars with 1.1" separation, a very pretty trio with the 11th magnitude pair HD144087 and HD144088 visible 5' south
