How close can you go!

Enjoying looking at double stars in my 25 x 100mm binoculars..

Mizar nice!

Cor Caroli is low but fine

Eta Perseus......special

STF 331.PER. ..getting close!

Just split 1CAM or STF550. They have a10 seconds of arc separation. Was hard but clearly a double ..

To split these I had to get the stars in the centre of the view..my eyes central in the eyepieces etc..

Fun...[emoji3]

Not managed Cor Caroli, will have to wait till I get a tripod I think. Have just managed to see rings of Saturn so I think it is possible.

Albireo is easy, can see the different colours. Omicron Cygni I like too, 3 stars like Mizar.

If I need to check the focus and clarity of my bins or the atmosphere I always point them at Nu Draconis. That should be 2 clear identical stars with a space between them.

Yes Nu Draconis is lovely
