monthly doubles for May 2019

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

Whoop. Snuck up on me, this impending full Moon. :-( Rather than mope, check out double stars! :-) Double and multi-star targets you can observe them any time, anywhere, regardless of light pollution.

Here's a selection of doubles I find interesting and impressive. Targets for May:

star	also known as	alternate catalogue(s)
HD 112733 CVn	Σ (Struve) 1702	HIP 63317
24 Com	STF (Struve) 1657	SAO 100160, HIP 61418

Why don't you add these to your observing list and have some fun! I look forward to hearing how you make out. Any questions?
