Has anyone here ever observed Chi Cygni when it is around 10-11
magnitude? I recommend it. Its the dickens to fish out of its
enviornment when it's that faint but when you find it there's no doubt
about it because its redness rivals V Cygni and S Cephii.
clear, 6 mag skies to ya'll

well, thentoo faintto observe its spectrum visually but we took this
opportunity
in July and got magnificent visualisation of its spectral character - its
amazed
everyone! Our scopes were 18 and 16" hi quality dobs... but given the
chance
I will follow it for some time to come. It proved everything I have been
tyring to do for hi quality visual spectrosvcopy, whether anyone else
approved of simply looking
vs cameras, or not.
Cheers -
