Thad and all who described the All Arizona Star Party - sounds like a good time was had by all. The double OSS254, aka WZ Cassiopeia, according to Hipparcos has a spectral type of C5p (what ever that means) and is an unsolved variable that does not fall in other categories. I observed it my 8 inch (20 cm) back in '83. Steve Coe was also there along with some other observers. I saw the double as blue and red! Where the exclamination mark is from my notes indication, of course, great excitement. At the time I had been in astronomy for about three years. Herschel 1844 has yet to be observed and, according to you notes, should be added to my list. Hope this helps, aj saguaroastro.org Thad Robosson wrote: > Hey all, > > Saturday, Oct 13th was the day I attended the All Arizona Star Party.
