monthly doubles for Mar 2019

Issued my double star "bulletin" for March 2019. It is a short list of suggested targets. I shared this on the RASC Toronto Centre forums. And I post here for all.

Hello.

Days are getting longer and sun is getting higher. Hopefully weather more conducive to astronomy is around the corner. If you get chance to do some quick backyard observing, here are some double stars for your consideration.

star	also known as	alternate catalogue(s)
HD 75646 Cnc	STT A 96	SAO 80467, HIP 43535
α (alpha) Lyn	STT 571	SAO 61414, HIP 45860
HD 60997 Pup	Σ1121	SAO 153142
Struve 1126 CMi	HR 2950	SAO 115773
ε (epsilon) Mon	8 Mon and STF 900	SAO 113810, HIP 30419

A couple of hints... α Lyn is great triple as is HD 75646. STF 1126 is also a triple but the AB is rather challenging. HD 60997 comes with a couple of surprises!

I look forward to hearing how you did! Let me know if you have any questions.
