posted Jun '21 doubles list

Here's a short selection of doubles from my life list, ones I find interesting and impressive. Hopefully not too challenging.

Double stars punch through bright skies so you can observe them any time, anywhere!

I look forward to hearing how you did! Share your log notes.
