Chris asked me for my monthly double stars to include in his May 2020 The Sky This Month presentation so you may have had a sneak preview… [tada!]
Here’s a short selection of fairly easy double stars from my life list.
| star | also known as | alternate catalogue(s) |
|---|---|---|
| δ (delta) Dra | Altais, Nodus Secundus, BUP 186 | SAO 18222, HIP 94376 |
| θ (theta) Vir | Σ1724 (Struve) | SAO 139189, HIP 64238 |
| HD 111845 Com | STF (Struve) 1685 | SAO 100307, HIP 62783 |
| HD 109556 Crv | Σ1659 | SAO 157384, HIP 61466 |
| 6 Leo | SHJ 107 | SAO 117751, HIP 46774 |
Please consider adding double stars to your observing list. They are fun, tantalising, colourful, and dynamic! Visible anywhere, any time, with any equipment.
I look forward to hearing how you did! Share your observations. Happy to take questions.
Be seeing you (online).
