I was just looking at Gamma Arietis when I finished on Jupiter. They call that a"peanut" referring to Zeta Aquarii?

No... I am teasing you because you said it looked like a peanut due to the atmosphere or your mount or something.

Now you got me confused here. I was referring to 72 Pegasi as a "peanut" not Zeta Aquarii. I'll have to check that one out too. Are those hijacked pics or are they ones you took? Anyways I like looking at them. ;D Mike

Mikey, I have a very strict rule about "hijacking" images. Simply, I don't do it. I took those last night. Zeta Aquarii was quite difficult as the sky was clear but very turbulent. The two stars were bouncing around so much it reminded me of your description of a peanut (even if I did mistake which star you were referring to). But as the image shows the scope has no trouble separating the 2.2 arc second space between them. I need to find a list on the net. Maybe get some more difficult targets.
