jaspalchadha Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Hi all I wanted to make the Albireo Star stand out from the back ground to really make this King of stars stand out Enjoy Albireo views from a bright single point into a double star of amazing colors. At around 380 light years distant, the two bright stars of Albireo are far from each other would take around 10,000 years to complete a single orbit. The brighter yellow/orange star is itself a binary star system. With good focus and steady hands, 10x binoculars you will be able to view it. Imaged from London (UK) old data that I found Date: 17/05/2015 Telescope: Altair Astro RC 250 with Focal Reducer CCD camera~ QHY9SM Filters: Baader LRGB, 5 x 1 min each filter Mount: Ioptron CEM60 ( Ungudied) https://flic.kr/p/KD4hqY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
