A recently released report complied by the state's Department of Commerce indicates North Carolina's military installations have helped stabilize local economies.
North Carolina hosts five military bases, a military ocean terminal, and a U.S. Coast Guard base.
With nearly 110,000 active duty members assigned to those stations, the new report showed with all military contributions combined, the armed forces support about 10% of the state's economy.
The report factored in not only military personnel financial contributions to local economies, but also Department of Defense contracts and civilian jobs added to support the installations.
The Department's report said the military bases and functions in local communities translates to 540,000 jobs statewide which can be traced back to the military.
However the numbers are all subject to change, according to the report, as the country prepares draw downs from two major wars and as troop realignments continue.
The state report projected more than 19,000 military members will be filing for separation this year, followed by nearly 22,000 in 2015.
With an upcoming surge in military separations, the Department noted these military members will emerge from service with an arsenal of job skills which could get them work in North Carolina or beyond state lines.

From Xbox 360 to Xbox One
Microsoft's next game system is anything but just a game system
It's been eight long years since Microsoft launched the Xbox 360, which has over the years morphed into a very powerful home theater source for movies and streaming TV shows in addition to being a cool game machine. Today the company announced the successor to that system, the Xbox One. Odd names aside, will the One be the system to have for every home theater?
Microsoft's plan with the Xbox One, as expected, goes far beyond games. The system was conceived to be the center console in your home entertainment system. It plays games, movies, TV, music and lets your communicate with friends (well, the 360 does pretty much all that too, just differently).
Voice and gesture control are a big part of it. To start the system, just say "Xbox On." Voice commands can switch the unit to play live TV or launch a game. You can use hand gestures (swipes, grabs) to move between onscreen windows. You can snap your fingers to bring up an applications panel.
The new system seems heavily focused on TV—Skyping while watching TV, web surfing while watching TV, "trending" while watching TV…
A feature called One Guide lets you view and search through all the entertainment options available on the system. You can hook your TV set-top-box to the console and use it as your center of command. Well, actually Microsoft didn't clarify how it would incorporate live TV, so I'm making an assumption here that it would work in a similarly to how you hook your cable box to a Google TV box. We also don't know about DVR capabilities. DVR was mentioned for recording games, but nothing else, and if you've connected your cable box to the Xbox One via HDMI than no recording directly on the game console would be possible because of DRM issues. It may be able to control your cable box's DVR function via an IR blaster.
Some serious hardware runs the new console. An eight-core, x86 processor and more than 5 billion transistors helps reduce lag and load times, so users can instantly jump between games and TV at lightning speed or run a host of apps right alongside a game with no loss in performance. The system also plays Blu-ray discs, includes a more precise Kinect and an improved handheld controller.
A new NFL on Xbox feature will use Skype, Xbox SmartGlass and player-worn technology for a fantasy football application .
Speaking of games, here's a rundown of the first exclusive games for Xbox One:
• "Forza Motorsport 5″ from Turn 10 Studios is the latest edition of the highest-rated racing franchise of the past 10 years.3 Built from the ground up to take advantage of Xbox One and the infinite power of the cloud, no game better delivers the sensation of being behind the wheel. "Forza Motorsport 5″ sets a new bar for racing games and will be available exclusively for Xbox One at launch.
• "Call of Duty: Ghosts" is the next generation of "Call of Duty" and a stunning leap forward for the franchise. It delivers an all-new world, an all-new cast of characters and an all-new story, built on a new, next-generation engine. The next-generation technical innovations built to support the incredible gameplay advancements make this the most beautiful and immersive "Call of Duty" experience yet. Activision and Microsoft also announced the renewal of their close partnership that will see both the return of the "Call of Duty® Championship," presented by Xbox, as well as all-new downloadable content debuting first and exclusively on the Xbox platform.
• "FIFA 14," "Madden NFL 25," "NBA LIVE 14," and "EA SPORTS UFC" from EA SPORTS will change the way consumers experience and play sports games. Driven by the new EA SPORTS Ignite engine, these new EA SPORTS games will deliver massive innovations in human intelligence, true player motion and living worlds. Adding to its commitment to Xbox One, EA SPORTS also announced the promise of exclusive content to be revealed in the coming months.
• "Quantum Break" from Remedy Entertainment is a revolutionary entertainment experience from the creators of " Max Payne " and " Alan Wake " that blurs the line between gaming and TV by integrating drama and gameplay into one seamless, uniquely immersive experience. How you
There's no word on what it will cost or when, exactly, it will be available, but you can bet it will be on shelves (and online) by this year's holiday shopping season.
Also, it looks like you're going to have to hang onto your Xbox 360 if you want to keep playing your old games because the new system won't play those discs.
Here's a video. It doesn't really tell you anything, but it looks pretty:

- Blurb
- These are the voyages of the U.S.S. da Vinci. Their mission: to solve the problems of the galaxy, one disaster at a time. Starfleet veteran Captain David Gold, along with his crack Starfleet Corps of Engineers team led by former Starship USS Enterprise-D ™ engineer Commander Sonya Gomez, travel throughout the Federation and beyond to fix the unfixable, repair the irreparable, and solve the unsolvable.
- The S.C.E.'s missions don't always go as planned – repairing the weather grid on the resort planet Risa turns into a deadly first contact, constructing an industrial complex on a nonaligned world leads to some startling revelations about the financier behind it, diverting a runaway ship could spell death for the crew the da Vinci didn't even know was there, and a planet in a box proves a more valuable prize than anyone could have imagined – but their greatest challenge comes much closer to home...
- Captain Gold's granddaughter Esther is marrying Khor, son of Lantar, a Klingon politician. Now Gold faces what may be the greatest challenge of his career: officiating the first-ever Klingon-Jewish wedding!

22 U.S. Code § 2362 - Use of foreign currencies
prev | next
(a) Currencies received in payment for nonmilitary assistance; foreign obligations
Except as otherwise provided in this chapter or other Acts, foreign currencies received either
(1) as a result of the furnishing of nonmilitary assistance under the Mutual Security Act of 1954, as amended, or any Act repealed thereby, and unobligated on September 3, 1961, or
(2) on or after September 4, 1961, as a result of the furnishing of nonmilitary assistance under the Mutual Security Act of 1954, as amended, or any Act repealed thereby, or
(3) as a result of the furnishing of assistance under subchapter I of this chapter, which are in excess of amounts reserved under authority of section 2455 (d) of this title or any other Act relating to educational and cultural exchanges, may be sold by the Secretary of the Treasury to agencies of the United States Government for payment of their obligations outside the United States, and the United States dollars received as reimbursement shall be deposited into miscellaneous receipts of the Treasury. Foreign currencies so received which are in excess of the amounts so reserved and of the requirements of the United States Government in payment of its obligations outside the United States, as such requirements may be determined from time to time by the President, shall be available for the authorized purposes of subchapter I of this chapter in such amounts as may be specified from time to time in appropriation Acts.
(b) United States operations abroad; excess foreign currencies
Any Act of the Congress making appropriations to carry out programs under this chapter or any other Act for United States operations abroad is hereby authorized to provide for the utilization of United States-owned excess foreign currencies to carry out any such operations authorized by law.
As used in this subsection, the term "excess foreign currencies" means foreign currencies or credits owned by or owed to the United States which are, under applicable agreements with the foreign country concerned, available for the use of the United States Government and are determined by the President to be excess to the normal requirements of departments and agencies of the United States for such currencies or credits and are not prohibited from use under this subsection by an agreement entered into with the foreign country concerned.
The President shall take all appropriate steps to assure that, to the maximum extent possible, United States-owned foreign currencies are utilized in lieu of dollars. Dollar funds made available pursuant to this chapter shall not be expended for goods and services when United States-owned foreign currencies are available for such purposes unless the administrative official approving the voucher certifies as to the reason for the use of dollars in each case.
(c) Voluntary family planning programs; limitation
In addition to funds otherwise available, excess foreign currencies, as defined in subsection (b) of this section, may be made available to friendly foreign governments and to private, nonprofit United States organizations to carry out voluntary family planning programs in countries which request such assistance. No such program shall be assisted unless the President has received assurances that in the administration of such program the recipient will take reasonable precautions to insure that no person receives any family planning assistance or supplies unless he desires such services. The excess foreign currencies made available under this subsection shall not, in any one year, exceed 5 per centum of the aggregate of all excess foreign currencies. As used in this subsection, the term "voluntary family planning program" includes, but is not limited to, demographic studies, medical and psychological research, personnel training, the construction and staffing of clinics and rural health centers, specialized training of doctors and paramedical personnel, the manufacture of medical supplies, and the dissemination of family planning information, medical assistance, and supplies to individuals who desire such assistance.
(d) Reciprocal release of dollar value equivalents
In furnishing assistance under this chapter to the government of any country in which the United States owns excess foreign currencies as defined in subsection (b) of this section, except those currencies generated under the Food for Peace Act, as amended [7 U.S.C. 1691 et seq.], the President shall endeavor to obtain from the recipient country an agreement for the release, on such terms and conditions as the President shall determine, of an amount of such currencies up to the equivalent of the dollar value of assistance furnished by the United States for programs as may be mutually agreed upon by the recipient country and the United States to carry out the purposes for which new funds authorized by this chapter would themselves be available.

"(A) to carry out chapter 1 or 10 of part I or chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (as the case may be), for such purposes as—
"(i) project and sector assistance activities; or
"(ii) debt and deficit financing; or

"(3) Notification.—At least 15 days prior to obligating any such cash transfer or nonproject sector assistance, the President shall submit a notification through the regular notification procedures of the Committees on Appropriations, which shall include a detailed description of how the funds proposed to be made available will be used, with a discussion of the United States interests that will be served by the assistance (including, as appropriate, a description of the economic policy reforms that will be promoted by such assistance).

Black bear sightings increase in Fla. Panhandle
Published: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 9:40 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 9:40 a.m.
NAVARRE, Fla. — Wildlife officials say the number of black bear sightings is on the rise in the Florida Panhandle.
Since January the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has logged 360 calls about bear sightings in a four county area. That's up from 249 during the same period last year.
The increased number of bear sightings prompted wildlife officials and state Rep. Doug Broxson to schedule a public workshop to discuss safety measures for area residents.
Broxson told the Pensacola News Journal a black bear ran in front of him during a recent bike ride.
Wildlife officials say four bears have been fatally struck by vehicles this year, including one along U.S. 98 in Navarre last Wednesday.

Video: Seminar for Coloradans considering a civil union
Daniel Gonzales
April 18th, 2013
Yesterday our state equality org One Colorado held a webinar / conference call to help educate Coloradans on civil unions, which will be issued starting May 1st. The event covered issues from navigating paperwork to conceiving children once a civil union is established. Several staffers from One Colorado spoke as well as estate law and family law experts from the Colorado Bar Association.
Although this was originally a live, for record purposes I produced a video of the event couples can use in the future if they are considering entering into a civil union here in Colorado.

text: Remember I said I liked to sew? Well ever since I got my serger a few weeks ago I've been totally addicted! It also helped that I hit the jackpot one night when I went to Joann's and they happened to be closing that store! All their fabric was 75% and I got a HUGE amount (and a few supplies) for an amazing price! I came home and bought a pattern online and went to town! I don't have a ton to post right now but I have a few more things (off the top of my head) I plan on making and I will photograph them when I do. For now, here's a dress that I made for some friends' little girl (Lily got to model it and I didn't feel like narrowing them down so I posted a few! The last one is my FAVORITE!) I listed on Etsy, so if you like the dress and want one I'll make one for you!

Following his 'retirement' from fighting after losing a decision to welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre at UFC 158 , Nick Diaz has been enjoying his time away from the cage and away from the demands of being a full-time fighter.
However, Diaz has plenty of fight left in him and he is keen to make some money. While he has been enjoying some downtime he has been doing some thinking. He has concluded that what he would like his immediate future to hold is some big money, big reward fights.
The fight with St. Pierre was really the first time that Diaz got to take a bite of the big-money cake that the UFC's top-tier fighters feast on. And if he had won, the coming paydays would have been enormous. He didn't get the win, but he's been thinking about it ever since.
Right now he is Las Vegas, Nevada with his girlfriend. Her father drives dirt-track racecars and is competing this weekend, in a car complete with Nick Diaz decals and the logo of his own WAR MMA promotion.
Its morning in Las Vegas and Diaz is in a pretty decent mood. He recently moved out of the 'fighter house' he had been living in for the last few years and into a new apartment. He says it's only small - "a little two bedroom, one bathroom thing" - but the change in living environment has been good.
"I'm not fighting right now so I didn't really need to be living in the fighter house with the other guys, I got out of there. It doesn't really hold up [as a living environment] if you're not actually training for a fight, its a bit of a mess," he says.
Diaz will be paying close attention to next week's fight between St Pierre and Hendricks at UFC 167. If he was a betting man, he wouldn't be putting his money on Hendricks.
"I think Georges St. Pierre will win that fight. I watched Hendricks and Condit and I wasn't that impressed with Hendricks. I think Georges should win with strikes rather than a wrestling match," he says.
But it isn't so much the fight that interests him as its potential aftermath. If St Pierre comes out with the win, where does that leave the welterweight contender picture? There's nobody aside from Rory Macdonald who looks like a viable contender right now, and he has sworn he won't fight his team mate.
"They are talking about there's nobody to fight him after this. I'll make a joke out of that real quick - I think there's nobody on my level really. I don't want to name names but that's how I feel. So I feel like if the fans want to see me fight…" says Diaz, trailing off without mentioning a title fight directly.
Of late there have been numerous rumors that Diaz is interested in a fight with Michael Bisping at middleweight. He flatly refutes that; he doesn't see it as a big fight - and by 'big fight' he means 'big earner'.
"I don't see that being a really big fight like this one fight I'm thinking I could have at welterweight," he says, again hovering around the topic of a rematch with St. Pierre without actually calling the champion out.
"And [Bisping's] been getting knocked out a bunch lately so I'm like, lets wait until I start getting knocked out too. I can't afford to be getting knocked out [at middleweight] right now. Lets wait until my late 30s or something! [laughs]."
So Diaz is ready to come out of retirement for the right fight. Whether he can get that fight right off is debatable. Diaz doesn't answer my question about how he would respond if the UFC said "Win one fight, we will give you a shot".
Instead he lays out his own requirements for a return and they can be summarized thus: Nick Diaz wants to get paid.
"Well we could negotiate. I am a pretty big draw. So we would have to negotiate a pretty decent amount of pay and a pretty decent amount from the pay-per-view. I'm talking like three to five dollars [per PPV unit sold] the same as these other important fighters are getting, because I am out there putting on a show," he says.
"Some of those guys are making way more money than what my contract is worth. I'm not making a fraction of it. And I don't want you to think I am just regurgitating some [rumors] here. I understand what I understand, I hear what I hear.
"I've had some time off from fighting and some free time to finally start looking at things like this and thinking about it. Its a bit easier for me to learn what's what now."
The UFC will also be pleased to learn that Diaz's attitude to the PR circus has done a complete 180. Of all the fighters in MMA, Diaz was by far the most notorious for hating the media grind.
It culminated in his failing to attend a UFC 137 PR engagement and being removed from his first title shot against St Pierre. These days, Diaz is all-business and he is ready to play the game.
"Well I am talking about big fights, so I could be really enthusiastic about all that [PR stuff] nowadays. Before I didn't want to talk or do anything extra, because I wasn't getting paid for it," he says.
"I didn't want to do all these conferences and all this running around on PR and not getting paid for it and its interfering with my training, you know? But if you look at the last two fights I think I started to show more enthusiasm for it. The last one I think I explained myself pretty good."
Anybody who has followed Diaz for any length of time will have noticed that words like "money" and "compensation" have formed an ever-increasing part of his conversation.
The truth is Diaz has always thought about money. But its only lately, as he sees his career's finish line hover into view, that he has started to really worry about it and think about maximizing his earnings in the time he has left.
"I can't make any other money other than fighting. Never have," he says. "I had a job once, I was like 15 or 16. Running wires through a building for a construction company, they paid me in cash 'under the table'.
"I bought myself a four-wheeler. Then I sold it back to the guy I bought it from and I started fighting professionally at 18. Ever since then that's the only way I have made money."
What about the WAR MMA venture he launched in his native Stockton, California? That first show seemed to go well, though in truth Diaz is something of a figurehead and partner rather than being involved in the promoter and operations sides.
"I'm trying to work something out with the team of guys who do it. But to be honest I haven't been really too motivated lately in terms of things to make money. I've been training a lot, training with my brother [Nate] for his fight coming up, and moving house," he says.
"And before that, just a few months of indecisiveness really. I've been traveling around a little bit. The free time has been good, its different. Now if there's a big fight available… people know where I am."

A Kabul official has welcomed President Barack Obama's decision to bring home half of the 66,000 American troops in Afghanistan with the next year, saying Afghan forces are ready to take responsibility for the country's security.
Defense Ministry spokesman Mohammad Zahir Azimi says Afghan troops will fill the "vacuum" caused by the withdrawal of 34,000 U.S. troops over the next 12 months.
President Obama told Americans about his decision in his State of the Union speech. He had earlier briefed Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
Karzai's office said the two leaders discussed strengthening and equipping the Afghan forces and a pending security agreement that will determine whether the U.S. will retain soldiers here after most foreign troops leave at the end of 2014.

June 2014
Hi there,
after a longer period in which the prices for a lot of our models remained unchanged we have now - though it is difficult for us - to react to the changed . Mainly the purchase of movements is getting more and more expensive (but of course this stands also for the complete list of components).
Partially we deliver our watches with the movements we could buy at a cheaper price.
The new deliveries of movements (at highly increased prices) have to be considered now in two steps:
Therefore the price increase for the following models is done in two steps:
As from June 18, 2014 and from November 1, 2014 we will change the price for the models listed below as follows:
ANTEA KS - to EUR 695,- net from June 18, 2014 (from November 1st to EUR 730,- net)
Marine Original - to EUR 880,- net from June 18, 2014 (from November 1st to EUR 980,- net)
(good news - by optimising the case production we no more have to charge an additional price for the matt case!)
Seatime - to EUR 780,- net from June 18, 2014 (from November 1 to EUR 880,- net)
Unfortunately besides the problems with the movements also the prices for case and crystals which will
be increased in the near future are concerned).
Prodiver - to EUR 980,- net from June 18, 2014
(from November 1st up to EUR 980,- , unfortunately we have the same situation here as with the Seatime, so also the prices
for the cases and crystals will be increased in the near future).
Flieger Unitas 6498 to EUR 880,- net from June 18, 2014 (from November 1 up to EUR 980,- EUR net)
Antea KS 41 to EUR 880,- net from June 18, 2014
(no further increase in 2014!).
Supplement dated October 15, 2014
Partitio automatic and handwinding to EUR 690,- net from now on
(no further increase in 2014!)
The following models are excluded from the price increase for 2014:
Flieger no Logo automatic
Flieger no Logo with date automatic
Flieger Logo automatic
Flieger with Logo and date automatic
Flieger Baumuster "B"
Flieger Chronograph
Antea 365
Antea 390
Antea KS 41
Chrono 1938 white
Chrono 1938 black
Flieger GMT
Also in future we want to build our watches with the best components. We could look for a cheaper supplier but already since 1927
STOWA stands for best quality and best design as well as a customer friendly service. This is also in future our aim!
Therefore also in future we want to adhere to the well-known and proven suppliers of the market to make sure that we can deliver our
watches with the consistent quality!
April 2014

We are pleased that we can show you today some pictures of incoming material for the limited edition. Cases, crowns, buckles and hands are now in stock.

TESTAF wins japanese "Grand Prix" watch award!
October 2013
TESTAF successfully passed certification!
We are pleased that we have received in the last days the TESTAF certification of the FH Aachen for our model "FLIEGER TESTAF TO1".
Our watch passed the extensive tests right away.
Especially the vibration and shock test caused us quite a headache while developing this watch but some of the constructive details have been used within the last 20 years from time to time for other models.
Now we have built this watch with all our knowledge and can rightly say:
"We have built the best STOWA Flieger watch that ever existed".
Have again a look of this watch in our onlineshop.
See you soon
Your STOWA Team

The Junior Cup may be over for Ash when Trip lost to the champion Alder, but that doesn't stop him from trying out for the Unova League as Trip leaves when his personality have changed after talking to Alder. Apparrently, Georgia and Burgundy departs in their separate ways after saying goodbye to their respective rivals Iris and Cilan. Though Dawn has to leave the group also to enter the Wallace Cup in Johto, it was great for Iris and Cilan to meet her. Before leaving by tomorrow in the morning, she has a battle with Ash to warm up for the Wallace Cup as they head back to Undella Town. Will this be the last time they see her? And who's the trainer with the Riolu?
World Tournament Junior Cup Champion Battle
- This is the second time Bouffalant's curly fur absorbs damage just to activate Sap Sipper from a Grass-type move. First was BW054: Ash Versus The Champion!.
- When Dawn's Quilava used Flamethrower against Pikachu's Iron Tail, this would mark the second time a character use a move for which type a pokemon is in. First was Brycen telling his Beartic to use Brine to extinguish Pignite's Flame Charge in BW081: Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!.
- This would be the last time Ash and co. see Burgundy and Georgia.
- Piplup and Oshawott's rivalry over Meloetta has finally come to an end since they became friends at first while they say their goodbyes.
- This episode would be the second time a character looks up Pikachu on the Pokedex since Cameron saw the first one with Ash. First, was Trip in BW001: In The Shadow of Zekrom!.
- Who's That Pokemon?: Riolu (US).
- Even if Cameron did make it to the Junior Cup on time, there would be a odd numbers of trainers to compete.

IEEE 802.11g
The third standard for modulation. It works in the 2.4 GHz band (like 802.11b), but uses the same OFDM based transmission scheme as 802.11a. It operates at a maximum physical layer bit rate of 54 Mbit/s exclusive of forward error correction codes, or about 22 Mbit/s average throughput.[4] 802.11g hardware is fully backwards compatible with 802.11b hardware and therefore is encumbered with legacy issues that reduce throughput when compared to 802.11a by ~21%.

I've since replaced the stock mirror with a Zambuto. I'm still getting my legs with it a bit and am going thru many old favorites to see if there's anything new I can make out with my new mirror.
Seeing was supposed to be very good tonight, so I was looking forward to see how the Zambuto would do on planetary. I waited for Jupiter to come up. It was glorious at 400x when the seeing steadied. Spent a couple hours looking at it. I started to pack up around 2 am and realized Orion was coming up. So I thought I'd check out the nebula.
The nebula was still very low - maybe 20 degrees above the horizon, but I swung the scope over at low power and checked it out. Even without a filter there appeared to be much more nebulosity than I remember - love that Zambuto. Beautiful. Ah yes, the trapezium! Could I see the F star?!
I put in a 7mm Pentax XW and took a look. When I think of all the times I tried to see the F star and failed, and here it was as easy as pie - at 20 degrees above the horizon. Wonderful. Seeing stars A-F is really a beautiful thing.
Now, maybe the skies were just particularly steady, or the Zambuto is just a way better mirror than the stock mirror, or both. But it was almost funny how easy I could see A-F.
I've seen many posts here how the F star has been seen with 80mm - 100mm scopes. Wow. Maybe one of these days I'll be able to pick it up with my refractor.

Don't get too wrapped up in why it happened, just enjoy the fact that it did happen.
I love quality optics and have a lot of money invested in Zambuto and Russian mirrors, plus the finest American refracting lenses. But it's those nights when the jet stream leaves me alone that spending all that money is worthwhile.

this object with my Tak 102mm APO. Only on nights when the seeing plays ball, do I manage to spot it.
With my cheap as chips 150mm f/8 Chinese Achro (which cost me less than the 7x50 Tak finder) I always see both E and F.
It has to be really bad seeing for me not to pick-up F in my large Achro.

However, sometimes they are just not doable, reguardless of quality of the optics. Bill

Seeing is really a key. I've been trying to observe them with 60mm refractor for some time. A-E was not so difficult but F isn't easy with small aperture.
I was able to see them this morning for the first time. Seeing was excellent this morning 4am PDT. Unfortunately we have high thin clouds. Waiting for half an hour, view got steady momentarily and I was able to see 6 stars
I hope coming few day, warm weather clears early morning fogs (marine layers) to reconfirm the observation with larger scope side-by-side.
Setup was Takahashi FS-60Q + 1.6x extender (f/16, 960mm), prism diagonal and Leica Zoom eyepiece at 8.8mm, yielding about 110x.

60mm. Impressive. And congratulations!
Ha ha, not yet congrats I saw them for less than 10 seconds. But the way E is seen, I am hopeful to catch F under better condition with 60mm scope.
It is different kind of fun to challenge well known same target again and again with more challenging setup. I enjoy that very much.
Even Polaris is fun when you look at the double at low power, 15x, 16x. It is quite a challenge and good indicator of eye condition, at least to me

60mm might do it, but with a little more magnification. I consistently saw both E and F in my 70mm f/8 fluorite at 140x.

Even in very good seeing applying the right magnification(s) is key, especially with smaller instruments. Too low power won't show 'em, too high power and they're gone. Some years ago I saw both E and F with a 4"F10 achromat in very, very good seeing but only at 80 and 100x (12.5mm and 10mm eyepieces). F actually "felt" a good deal closer to C than its actual distance would indicate.
This has been my recent experience. I find that 135x seems to be perfect. I'm thinking that times in the past where I had trouble seeing E & F I was at too high of a magnification.

Tonight I was outside and thought I MAYBE saw F, but it could have been my imagination.
But I saw several beautiful doubles tonight, especially Theta Aurigae and the perpetually cool CASTOR.
What FUN!

Had to use a green filter on the pup

I found the f star last night for the first time with my 6" f8 achro and a Pentax XW 7mm. Jumping for joy as I also got the 'pup' for the first time with a 5mm XW
Had to use a green filter on the pup

... A-E was not so difficult but F isn't easy with small aperture...Tammy
If the current WDS data is correct, then the C-F pair has as separation of 4.5" with magnitudes +5.06/11.5mag - this is certainly a double very hard to split with an aperture below 150mm even under perfect conditions means ignoring the fact that there is also a nebula to consider.
Is +11.5mag not already at the telescope magnitude limit of a 60mm scope?

I did already post this... but it was lost, along with much of the last few days. Basically, as we were entering the home stretch of setting up. (and hit some big technical milestones, like finishing debugging the login server) Our Data Base server up and died. It was great. Like facepalming so hard your hand comes out the other side of your head, then turns around so you can face palm again.
We saved the data and restored it to a new server, but it was not working correctly, so we had to move to an older restore. Unfortunately, this meant we lost a few days of posts. Starting next week, we should have two redundant DB servers, with one taking over for the other in case of a problem.
Will have more details tomorrow. It's been a long day.
