I understand that but CWD when all bubbles leveled, technically the scope should be pointed at NCP.? Based on a good polar alignment and the scope parked at CWD. My thought process is as follows

I haven't looked inside your file yet Brian - I am sure it is AWESOME - but when I saved the file to my backup "card" file, I see that I have a STRUVE.guc file.. So among others, I have Struve, SAO,

I loaded a zip file of the MAPUG archieve into the 'FILES' folder.

Thanks for the positive comments everyone. ?Our challenge where I am is light pollution. ? I was just using a simple IR/UV cut filter, so the light pollution just kills the low contrast stuff. ? I

Derek When using stellarium, I was looking for a double star system mentioned in a mag using the strueve designation. No luck. I was trying to use sinbad under android and couldn't print the results.
