In that case I might give them a go ... pending permission to completely rip off your list of course!!

thanks for the reply!

hey josh - get into double star observing .. there's hundreds of them in the reach of your scope, and you can observe many different types with many characterisitcs .. think:

1) colour of components
2) separation (distance and angle)
3) star field the double is set in
4) the difficulty of the split

there are many things that you can say about doubles, and the more you see the more you will learn about them! I had a small scope for several years, and double stars (plus star clusters) was about the only thing I was able to observe :-)
