EAA Double Star Challenge Level 100 (102 Doubles)

Yay! :icon-smile:

After a couple good nights of observing. The total number of double stars observed in the challenge, now stands at 102. There are still 15 doubles to go, and two more never rise above my local horizon. I started the EAA quest for double stars last September, so moving steadily along. Plus, the stars all come from the binocular list. So, I have the telescope doubles list to explore as well. :icon-smile:

My observing log report is uploaded onto OneDrive at the link below (74mb pdf)

A couple of the images have diffraction spikes courtesy of my neighbours electric/fibre optic cables. I guess you call that pre-processing :lol:

Thank you very much for such an enjoyable challenge.

Have fun.
