reviewed coloured doubles list

Reviewed the TABLE OF COLOURED DOUBLE STARS starting on page 296 of the 2014 RASC Observer's Handbook. No errors in the main content nor the supplement. Also compared to the old SkyTools observing list I had made a couple of years ago.

I noticed that a colour for Σ 1360 Leo was different. It now shows as blue and green; I had noted it as orange and green. Did I record it wrong? [ed: It was blue and green in the 2012 edition.]

I also noted that my original SkyTools notes were based on the first edition of these materials and I had not updated them when corrections were made. And there was no entry for h1647 aka NV Peg. Don't know how I missed that. I could roll-out a new 2014 SkyTools list...
