A Thanksgiving observation session! I stuffed myself stupid; so much so that I was feeling too tired to go out viewing tonight. I'm glad I pushed myself because it was beautiful tonight!

Found by right ascending from ν Eridani. Clean split. The sibling is less bright but not hard to see. Both appear yellow in color.

Found by moving declination down from μ Eridani. Cool faint pair. Looks like a ghostly pair of eyes. Orange in color.

Very faint and difficult to see. AV is required. Can see some "noise" in the area with an occasional glint of light. Maybe it's too low on the horizon? I may flag this one for a redo in the future.

Rigel is so bright it almost washes out the sibling. Tried various methods, but stop-down without barlow worked the best.

Took a little effort to get the split, mostly with micro-focusing. Both appear white.

Can only see two of the three siblings. I've tried everything I could think of to see the third, but it's keeps evading me.
