Did Joe-Bob mention that the seeing was sub-arcsecond at Montebello last night? Let's name names.

Struve 3062 in Cas. (ADS 61) Mags 6.4 7.2 Separation 1.5"
Lambda Cyg (ADS 14296) Mags 4.8 5.1 Sep 0.9" (Thanks, David Kingsley for suggesting this one)
Struve 2 in Cepheus (ADS 102) Mags 6.6 6.9 Separation 0.8"

The separation values for orbiting binary stars are calculated by a spreadsheet from Brian Workman at http://www.psiaz.com/polakis/binaries.html
