S 738 AB (South)

[lunator]

Due to not having a place to set up my scopes at the mo, I am having to resort to my Bino tripod set up.

Was browsing through Cygnus last night and came across a very neat white double first observed by South.

South doubles are in general quite bright and wide so ideal for Binos.

The pair appeared white to me and was pert of a 'slight squashed rectangle' the field was fairly rich.

If you get chance have a wander past at low powers it a lovely sight.

If it clears later I will take my 70X10.5 and have a go. I will have to find out where it is as my arms do not have Goto.

Agree on the South doubles they are well worth looking at.

I always look for them in my images although I don't actually aim for them.

Another one I haven't seen.

The only one in Cygnus I have is 61Cyg.  (got it here  http://www.astronomy.binhoster.com/doubles_cygnus.html)

Hi Ian,

Not sure why it comes up with the 404 error, the link seems to be blocked by Stargazerslouge!

If I type it in manualy, it works fine.

The image of 61Cyg I will try to post here. Hope it worked.

Cheers

Martin
