Field name is the object's catalog name,
Field C is the catalog the object came from.
D: Washington Double Star Catalog.
N: Revised New General Catalog.
V: General Catalog of Variable stars.
Field T denotes the telescope used,
Field L denotes the location.
P: Pinnacles overlook,Coordinates are J2000.
Doubles give the magnitudes, position angle, and separation of the pair from the most recent observations in the Washington double star catalog.
In the rare cases where the pair has a computed orbit, the position angle and separation from the orbital elements given by the Sixth Catalog of Orbits of Visual Binary Stars.

I could only see this giant E0, the other galaxies were much too difficult to tell from faint stars, which abound in this field. About 2', brighter towards the middle. Sources on the internet list this as an S0, which seem confirmed by the WikiSky image. |

There are two other pairs very close to this one, but they are about 2mv fainter and not in the WDS. Aladin, UCAC4: Given the wide difference in proper motions, ES 2583 does not appear to be physical. The lower pair does, although the proper motions are small. The stars are UCAC4 716-1164495, 10.6mv and 716-011097 11.1mv. Many of the fainter stars in this field have similar small proper motions, suggesting an unmarked cluster.

An non NGC/IC cluster? Aladin, UCAC4: Quite probably, most of the brighter stars in this tiny asterism seem to have a common proper motion. WDS data: 8.8 - 9.1mv, A0, 104° pa, 0.7", 2008. |

However, an ~12.5mv star was seen at 230°, 15" from the primary. Aladin/DSS/UCAC4: The AC pair is shown. C is 12.5mv and my estimate of θ was a bit off, as the hazy moonwashed sky made a 12.5mv star almost invisible. WDS data: 9.7 - 10.4mv, U, 173.90° pa, 3.000", 2011. |

An amorphus blob in the 4, and only occasionally glimpsed in the 6mm. The seeing was deteiorating as I observed A 2224. This greatly increased the difficulty of splitting the pair.

The wider pair is as advertised by the WDS, and the primary seemed elongated in the direction indicated by the 6th orbit catalog. Even elongating 0.1" is remarkable.

It is not in Burnham, but Webb raves about it, quoting John Herschel as claiming the pair is full ruby red and green. WDS data: 8.26 - 9.62mv, M3Ib-II, 59° pa, 29.1", 2003. |
| NGC 2215 | N | 6h 21m 0s | -7° 17' 0" | C-8 | Little Tycho | 2010 2 20 21:56:45 | A scattering of around 10 8-10.5mv stars with about 25 fainter ones misting around them. |

The pair itself is at the western tip of a lovely isoceles triangle of stars. Best in the 15mm. WDS data: 5.55 - 9.7mv, B1Vpe+B9V, 22.70° pa, 3.900", 2003. |

| STF 890 | D | 6h 21m 40.94s | 36° 6' 47" | C-8 | Little Tycho | 2018 1 23 23:25:6 | The 12.3mv secondary is, predictably, hard to see, but it becomes visible in the 9mm. Shorter eyepieces simply enlarge the blurred image due to tonight's windy, Pickering 4 skies. WDS data: 9.71 - 12.35mv, A0, 271.20° pa, 17.820", 2010. |
| NGC 2217 | N | 6h 21m 42s | -27° 14' 0" | C-11 | Fall Star Party | 2010 11 5 4:28:51 | Looks like a star with a halo around it. Bright, but hard to see amongst the rich star field it's in. Burnham: SBa. |

This looks like it should be a loose open cluster, but it is not marked as such in the NGC or IC or http://www.univie.ac.at/webda/cocd.html WDS data: 9.00 - 9.61mv, B8, 122° pa, 6.1", 2011. |

My θ is almost 90° from the WDS θ. I saw 52.5° pa, 0.7" sep. This θ was later shown to be spurious, and probably caused by the telescope not being in thermal equilibrium. The star was not split. WDS data: 6.13 - 7.71mv, A3V, 145° pa, 0.7", 2007. |

| NGC 2219 | N | 6h 23m 24s | -4° 41' 0" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | This does not seem to be a cluster at all. More like a chance grouping of 6 or 7 bright (7 - 9 mv) Milky way stars. WikiSky does not list it, and a quick look at the PSS confirms it. One of John Hershel's errors. |

It was a slight brightening of the halo around the primary. Glimpsed in both the 9 and 6mm. WDS data: 8.5 - 10.84mv, F5, 271.50° pa, 3.823", 2003. |

It's not suprising that Struve missed many similar pairs like this one. WDS data: 11.05 - 12.9mv, U, 209.00° pa, 7.930", 2012. |

I saw 10.5, and Wikisky gives 10.27, identifying the star as TYC 5387-1068-1. AAVSO give the spectrum as C(N). I suspect that the star is a "late" one, perhaps N5, as it was quite red. |

The outer envelope was not visible. This was observed through the foliage of the cherry tree, so it is not too surprising that little was seen. |

When you look at the star the galaxy vanishes, when you look away from it, the galaxy appears to be only a bit dimmer than the star. The "blinking" galaxy! |

| NGC 4526 | N | 12h 34m 0s | 7° 42' 0" | C-8 | Little Tycho | 2010 3 20 2:15:27 | There is a star about 1/6 of a field (12.5mm) south of the galaxy, not shown on my finder chart. WikiSky: It's 13.35mv. |

I saw but a glow, with averted vision, and no double star. Other internet sources confirm that this is indeed an NGC error. |

They are between two 6th mv stars, which are themselves about 6 arc minutes apart. The entire group is listed as Struve 1659. It was swept up while looking for M 104, NGC 4594, which was obliterated by Washington's light pollution. WDS data: 7.94 - 9.88mv, G0, 31° pa, 189.6", 2003. |

| NGC 4565 | N | 12h 36m 18s | 25° 59' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | This superb edge on gives the illusion of having the edges of its spiral arms appear to be spread out, which photos prove does not happen. |
| NGC 4565 | N | 12h 36m 18s | 25° 59' 0" | C-8 | Little Tycho | 2012 3 27 2:15:51 | A faint, but obvious, streak in tonight's clear, steady sky. |
| NGC 4565 | N | 12h 36m 18s | 25° 59' 0" | C-11 | SAO | 2013 3 13 2:53:42 | Beautiful! Bright nucleus, disk an obvious streak of light, and the dark lane was glimpsed. |
| NGC 4565 | N | 12h 36m 18s | 25° 59' 0" | O-15 | Big Bend Nat Park | 2016 2 4 3:58:25 | A bright streak in the sky. Bright, almost starlike nucleus, truncated at the eastern side by the dark lane. Nothing seen beyond the dark lane. |

| NGC 4584 | N | 12h 38m 18s | 13° 7' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | Too faint for my C-8. HNGC lists it as 12.8 mv spiral, but that's spread over a couple of square arc minutes of sky. |

I suspect that the two are interacting, but photos do not show any significant distortion of the outer envelopes. A chance line up? Hard to tell. I saw both galaxies as spirals, but only NGC 4647 is. Burnham lists it as an Sc. |

Spectrascopically, it is wonderful, visually, it might be the brightest of the N stars, but it is lackluster. |

The 12.5mv star (UCAC4 504-4253962) has only a single entry in the UCAC4, but it's image is slightly elongated. The 2MASS catalog does show two stars. A possible binary? WDS data: 8.94 - 9.27mv, A3, 208° pa, 1.4", 2011. |

It looks more like 11.5mv, not 10.0. Invisible in the 24 and 12.5, I only saw it in the 6 and 9. WDS data: 7.8 - 10.0mv, A0III, 249° pa, 13.7", 2006. |

I'm sure this is a very nice pair, if the skies are clear. The WDS lists 6 other doubles within a degree of this one. WDS data: 6.92 - 7.77mv, U, 181° pa, 3.4", 2010. |

The secondary of ES 2028AB is an 11.2mv star much closer to the 4.3mv orange star. The proper motions of these two bright stars, A: -7.4, 4.1; Burnham: 0.8, -3.1, show that they are not in common proper montion. WDS data: 4.30 - 11.2mv, M4II, 351° pa, 86.6", 2009. |

A very tiny (1-2"?) planetary. An internet search next morning reveals that estimates of this planetaries size vary from 5 to 10" in size. The Aladin/DSS image shows it as 13" across, but a 10.6mv star has the same image size. Higher resolution images show an inner bright round nucleus about 4" in diameter, and a faint outer shell. Conclusion? Angular measurements using only an eyepiece are unreliable! |

The primary occasionally showed hints of elongation, but I think that this was just the seeing. WDS comments indicate that the secondary is a 0.7" neglected pair.

The one at 151° pa, 23" is accurate at around 12mv, and the one at 264° pa is about 13mv, not 10mv. There is no UCAC4 mv for the close, faint companion.

Aladin DSS: The planetary is there, 1' north of it's RNGC position, and its image shows diffraction spikes. It is, indeed, stellar. |
