Astrometry of STF 2448 on the Mount Wilson 1.5 m Telescope with a Novel Video Eyepiece

The Mt. Wilson Double Star Workshop was organized to provide a hands-on educational and research opportunity for students and amateur astronomers to learn and carry out astrometric eyepiece measurements of double stars. Due to the unique operating characteristics of the Mt Wilson 1.5 meter telescope and the limited time available for observations, a Bell & Howell DNV16HDZ high definition video camera was adapted to a Celestron 12.5mm astronomic eyepiece to record the position and separation of double star STF2448. This paper records the results of the team's observations and their techniques used to record and analyze the data.
