Observations of object "Zeta Ori (Alnitak)":

Zeta Ori (Alnitak) (Multiple Star, in Orion)
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: excellent   Seeing: fair
Time: Sat Dec 27 09:00:00 1997 UT   Obs. no.: 269

Doing the Orion skyhop given in the Jan 98 Sky & Telescope. Zeta Orionis was a dazzling white ball, the C companion easy: a distant faint point N of the primary at 38x. I saw no sign of the B star at any power through 244x. I'm very happy with the new 32mm Plossl eyepiece I got for Christmas; it is much sharper across the entire field than the SMA's I got with the 8" Starhopper.
