That is very nice indeed. It's difficult to capture how close the pairs actually are. I had an ideal night for viewing them a couple of months ago.

That is a screen shot from SkySafari Pro on iPhone. The standard or Plus versions are very good, you don't need the Pro necessarily

It's interesting that sketches often show them closer than they actually are, eg compare with a webcam image (Mak 127/Philips SP880, 2000 frames).

Nice sketch.

Closer than they are on the double bit and quite wide on the double double bit.
