 		EASY
100mm f/6.4, 32x, SQM-L 21.3
bei 32x nicht unauffällig - der Bootsrumpf wird aus sechs Sternen gebildet, die beiden hellsten jeweils an den Enden des Rumpfes - ein Mast aus drei Sternen und ein Wimpel aus drei noch schwächeren Sternen runden das Gesamtbild ab

12.5" f/4.5, 45x, SQM-L 21.3

At 37x well seen with averted vision as fairly compact brightening. At 100x the relatively compact, bright, round & sharply defined core was seen with direct vision. With averted vision the core was surrounded by an evenly bright, faint, slightly oval halo (inner ring). The much more fainter outer ring was not visible.

At 48x round and getting much brighter towards the middle. At 85x a compact nucleus is visible. 		MODERATE

2020-04-01: Separable at 67x, but difficult due to the bright primary component. Clearly separable at 80x and higher magnifications with a significant difference in brightness. The companion stands close to the primary component and appears as a tiny star. Nice view.
120mm f/5, 168x, Bortle 7+, NELM 5m.0, SQM-L 18.8
At 50x elongated, at 75x seen as '8'. At 168x clearly split with obviously fainter component.

bei 32x muss ich sehr genau hinschauen, dann ist eine kleine 8 zu erkennen - bei 64x zeigen sich dann beide Sterne knapp getrennt - Komponente B im SO nicht ganz so glänzend weiß wie A

2020-04-11: Very wide pair of similarly bright components, unremarkable color. The double star stands close to the stars 27, 28 & 30 LMi and is probably more appealing in smaller binoculars.

B 18x70, SQM-L 21.2
ein schöner Fernglasstern - die beiden gleichhellen Protagonisten sind relativ hell und stehen weit auseinander, sie werden zudem von drei noch helleren Sternen im Süden flankiert - die östliche Komponente strahlt roséweiß, B im Westen warmweiß
