Beta Leo (Denebola) (Multiple Star, in Leo)
Observer: John Callender (e-mail: jbc@west.net, web: http://www.west.net/~jbc/)
Instrument: 8-inch Dobsonian reflector Location: Carpinteria, CA, USA
Light pollution: light Transparency: fair Seeing: fair
Time: Wed Mar 12 05:00:00 1997 UT Obs. no.: 99
A bright, blue-white star. Observed it at 49x as the first object in the "Galaxy Hop in Leo" in the April 97 Sky and Telescope. There was a bit of fuzziness around it, which I assumed was either dew on the mirror or the effect of high, thin clouds. Subsequent viewing confirmed the latter explanation; clouds came and went throughout the observing session.
