Show off!
Seriously, discerning and/or perceiving .8" separation of doubles has to
be likened to Joe Goss and his 15th Mag LTG's . . .
I only had about an hour and had to turn in. My day starts at 5AM'ish.
I miss my Cave Creek sky. (Never thought I'd say that).

It was considerably darker at Cave Creek and I got in about 2 dozen
double
stars (one at 0.8" separation) and about a dozen galaxies (down to
magnitude
13.3). Hope tonight is just as good!

I was also splitting doubles last night from the backyard. I got a
good, clean split on both components of Epsilon Lyrae at 198x - as well
as a "decent" split on Izar with the same power. Saturn gave up some
really good detail, too.
Globs (M5,13, 92) were not quite so thrilling through 90mm, though -
even with good seeing. And M57 was merely there.
32nd St. and Union Hills - not exactly prime viewing turf.

It was a welcomed night of viewing from the backyard at Tatum and
Pinnacle Peak. I was able to split Epsilon Lyrae at 314x, and the
planetary nebula were most accommodating. Tonight looks good also so
the scope is properly bedded outside for another go at it this evening.
