Kurt, I don't think there has been but 1 or 2 nights clear enough for observing since your last list. Maybe that is why you have time to put together such a monster list…lol.

These are potential targets that need review for confirmation whether they are visible from urban locations. There is a paucity of bright color contrast pairs in this region crossing the north galactic pole and local chimney. Therefore, this potential target list is fainter than my previous Mon to Cnc contrast double list and may be more appropriate for suburban locations. This observing list was developed by reviewing color contrast double lists such as Mullaney, Haas and Belmont and then preparing a list of candidate targets. The candidate list will be reviewed using a 4 1/4 inch short GOTO reflector from an urban light polluted site to determine the practicality of seeing the objects from an urban setting. This list was also expanded to include prominent carbon stars in this observing frame. Any testing and corrections by interested double star observers would be welcomed and appreciated. The raw list is also available as an autostar tour: http://members.csolutions.net/fisherka/astronote/tours/Hya_to_Crt_AutoStar_t... This post is a continuation of my posts that concerning on my current observing focus: "after-work urban-astronomy". Urban astronomy focuses on using easily set up GOTO scopes across for seasons to view astronomical objects from urban light-polluted skies. As opposed to deep sky object emphasis, urban astronomy concerns bright objects visible with small apetures e.g. - open clusters, double stars, planetary and solar system objects. Having family, friend and work obligations like the rest of you, I will try to limit referenced targets to those observable prior to local midnight.
