WDS HJ 5333 – Double Star in Tucana

20 seconds with T13 – Siding Spring – July 15, 2017

WDS lists separation as 14.6″, and the magnitudes of the components as 10.8 and 12.3 – they are too close for my astrometric program to make my own measurement.

WDS HJ 5331 – Double Star in Tucana

20 seconds on T13 – Siding Spring – July 15, 2017

WDS lists separation as 20″, and position angle as 347 degrees.

I calculate, using Astrometrica, the position of the upper star as [22 26 08.31, -61 56 47.9], and the position of the lower star as [22 26 09.1, -61 57 07.3], which gives a separation of 20.19″ and a position angle of 343.9 degrees.

WDS HJ 5354 – Double Star in Tucana

20 seconds on T13 – Siding Spring – July 15, 2017

WDS lists separation as 24.6″, and position angle as 80 degrees.

I calculate, using Astrometrica, the position of the left star as [22 40 31.92 , -57 50 19.1] and the position of the right star as [22 40 28.95 , -57 50 22.7], which gives a separation of 23.98″ and a position angle of 81.37 degrees.

WDS HJ 5357 – Double Star in Tucana

20 seconds on T13 – Siding Spring – July 15, 2017

WDS lists separation as 20.4″, and position angle as 129 degrees.

I calculate, using Astrometrica, the position of the lower left  12th magnitude as [22 42 51.57, -57 51 00.4] and the position of the upper right 10th magnitude star as [22 42 49.58, -57 50 47.3], which gives a separation of 20.59″ and a position angle of 129.50 degrees.

WDS HJ 5358 – Double Star in Tucana

20 seconds on T13 – Siding Spring – July 15, 2017

WDS lists separation as 31.2″, and position angle as 91 degrees.

I calculate, using Astrometrica, the position of the left 10th magnitude as [22 44 44.68, -60 07 01.6] and the position of the right 8th magnitude star as [22 44 40.56, -60 07 01.1], which gives a separation of 30.79″ and a position angle of 90.94 degrees.

WDS I 383 – Double Star in Tucana

10 seconds on T13 – Siding Spring – July 15, 2017

WDS lists separation as 82.7″, and position angle as 262 degrees.

I calculate, using Astrometrica, the position of the left 5th magnitude as [22 24 56.76, -57 47 55.4] and the position of the right 13th magnitude star as [22 24 46.30, -57 48 05.7], which gives a separation of 84.24″ and a position angle of 262.96 degrees.
