An early morning session! It's nice to be doing this at the beginning of the day when I feel the most refreshed. It was so cold this morning though, that I didn't stay out as long as I would have hoped.
Very beautiful split! Both appear white-yellow.
This one is hard. I can only momentarily detect the sibling. It seems to pop in to view for a split second, then I can't see it for a while. No amount of micro-focusing seems to help, it's just so faint that it's hard to see.
Beautiful and easy. Primary is orange and secondary is a yellow-white.
Fairly easy split, both look a ghostly-white.
When I found M48 in my finder-scope and looked through my lens, the lens was de-focused to the point where there were circular corona's of light. The shape of the 'light circles' from the stars in and around M48 produced a distinct heart-shape in my lens. As I focused, I continued to see the heart shape in the cluster; though I'm not sure if it was a trick of my mind at that point. Very neat little cluster.
