studied HR 8281

Reviewed HR 8281, my recent notes from 8 Aug, reviewed my life list, and sent a note to Greg about the issues with the B star.

And tried, once and for all, to figure out what I might see. It seems the magnitudes of the component stars are:

• A: 5.7
• B: 13.3
• C: 8.1 (WDS says 7.5)
• D: 8.0 (WDS says 7.5)
• E: 15.4 (WDS says 13.2)

So, in theory, I should be able to see the first four easily. I'll have another go at B sometime. Would need a very big gun to tag E...

Greg replied. Said he was going to fix the numerical error. Cool.

I added HR 8281 to my "view again" list. I need to tag B and E.
