a double star solution

Read Michel Michaud's article in JDSO - volume 8 number 4 . He talked about measuring double stars (in the Pleiades) using a Canon DSLR and a big 'scope on a Paramount. Uh huh. And he in turn sited articles in the old Double Star Observer periodical that had inspired him.


This was very inspiring! I was excited to see this technique used with a high degree of accuracy. And the more I thought about it, the more I realised this could be "the magic bullet." The solution I've been looking for, for a long time.

I noted that he's Canadian. And then I noted he's a RASC member. I sent him an email.
