[sac-forum] Re: STF105 in Leo Minor?

So, if I understand what I've read, the double star in Leo Minor is not 
STT105 or O-sigma 105.  It is OSS 105 and is from the First Index 
Catalog of Otto Struve.

I don't want to ask if the OSS is omicron-sigma-sigma.

Interesting to note that Richard Harshaw's reference to "old" catalogs 
includes the Sky Catlogue 2000.0 Volume 2; 1985 ;o))
