Steve, I finally got around to looking at double star data in search of short period visual doubles. I found two candidates that, with steady seeing, should be accessible. In case you are interested they are: REU 1 12:33.5 +0901, 12.6/12.6, 15.9 year period, max 1.2", min 0.2" LDS 838 01:38.8 -1758, 12.45/12.95, 26.5 year period, max 2.3", min 0.3" I haven't looked at either of these guys, I just found them recently when I was trolling for data. Obviously they are on the faint side.
