This is my third attempt at Struve 2404. Between issues actually locating it on my star-chart, to issues seeing the sibling, this one seemed to be as hard as δ Corvi was. The sibling was hardly seen (I questioned whether I even saw it a few times), but after much micro-focusing and a little tapping on the lens, I was able to see traces of it for small periods of time. Stop down did not seem to help with this one. Found south-west of ζ Aquilae.

Very easy to find. I moved declination south of μ Aquilae until the expected star pattern was found. The split was immediately noticeable. Both are similar in color, white or blue.

Easy to find, right on the nose of Delphinus. Clean and cool looking split. The secondary appears to be slightly orange in color.

The split popped into view immediately. Primary orange, secondary yellow.

Just like α Capricorni. Easy split that popped into view.
