ST3 and ST4 report the separation as 65". 

No way.

The WDS reports it at LESS THAN 0.06 at the widest!

A very fast binary and I got my hopes up...

No way I'll ever see that.]]>

I believe there's an error with U Cygni. 

In ST3 and ST4, the double shows WDS discoverer code as BUP 183.

In the WDS, BUP 183 appears as 18344+2615 BUP 183 in Lyra with a precise coordinate of 183429.15+261515.1. It is a quad with stars between mag 10 and 13. 

ST4 shows a single star J183429.1+261515 at this location. Nearby GSC 02115-1743 appears to be the B star and J183432.6+261619 the C star.

U Cyg should be BLL 49. aka 20196+4754 BLL 49.]]>

With the new 2020 RASC Observer's Handbook in my hot little hands, I had a look-see at the two double star lists within. As is often the case, they have changed. Not a lot but there are some small changes.

I made new 2020 RASC observing lists for sharing in SkyTools 3 Pro. I can share these (or send to Greg for server downloading) if people are interested.]]>

Before creating one, has anyone created an STX file of the Multiple Star observing list? 

https://www.astroleague.org/content/mult...ng-program 

I looked in ST3 data manager but didn't come across one. If one doesn't exist, I'll create and share.

Thank you.

I do have a real question.  I love how SkyTools has made my double star observing a snap.  This has probably been answered before, but are there improvements specifically for doubles in ST 4?
