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

Well I'm sure glad that's all cleared up. However I can find no STF105 in
the SAC Double Star List so it doesn't need to be corrected. I have version
1.0 (1/4/90) which is the latest I think and the one on the website. Unless
I'm blind from looking at too many double stars (or if it's there I should
see two of them).  Megastar gives the same info as Steve does with 1995
data. STF105 does sound familiar tho, don't know where I saw it. It is not
on the Urban List either.
