Just got in from viewing some of your target. I think we might be up for a VDblSO(Virtual Double Star Observation) session.

The cluster it is related to is known as Do 5 on the Uranometria Vol 1, the most recent edition. <br /><br />Would be nice to have a coast to coast on doubles, if that were possible. <br /><br />M:)Marc Fitkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759570467599565095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865036020787364523.post-34415434982026012182009-07-16T20:30:57.552-04:002009-07-16T20:30:57.552-04:00What I should say is that we had a "honk"...What I should say is that we had a "honk" in Cygnus!Sidewalk Universehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095332891688108093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865036020787364523.post-26501814122318293562009-07-16T20:29:45.778-04:002009-07-16T20:29:45.778-04:00Hey Marc nice write up about Struve 2668 and your ...Hey Marc nice write up about Struve 2668 and your telescope pairing!Sounds like a match made in heaven for the heavens. You have a double double going on here between the two!<br /><br />Which cluster can this pair be found? I was also in Cygnus last night, had a hoot! Lots of doubles and multiples in the clusters I observed. I did not even attempt to post them all today. Glad you have sky to enjoy.<br /><br />I think Mr.Drive By is going to getting in on this stuff, clusters and doubles.Sidewalk Universehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095332891688108093noreply@blogger.com
