The following links take you to places in my primary (chronological) observation logs where I have notes about the indicated double stars. The factual information about the binaries was taken from Norton's 2000.0 Star Atlas and Refence Handbook (Eighteenth Edition, edited by Ian Ridpath, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc, ISBN=0-582-03163-X).
