I've had continuous overcasts since my first attempt, (Summer monsoon here in FL)and I haven't had a chance to verify my own sight. My second attempt a few days later (80 mm spotting scope at 16x) was clouded out just after I located the Delphinus asterism. Above the clouds it is hazy, with lots of urban skyglow. And you're right, every look at the chart blinds you.

I used the charts on the S&T website and Sky Atlas, Uranometria, and Millennium, but because of the awkward observing position, almost directly overhead. I've had trouble twisting myself into a position where I could both observe and use the charts comfortably.

I don't recall any "fuzziness" in the star I observed, but it looked distinctly yellowish to me. Can you confirm? My eyes are 66 years old, and my fast refractors poorly color-corrected.

It never occured to me to download the AAVSO Binoc chart, it is optimum for just this application.
