cotterless45 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 All the many times that I've put in a filter and drifted along the Western Veil, NGC 6960, I never knew that 52 Cygni is a fine binary. At x50 I could just pick out the faint secondary. X200 brought out the very fine secondary, what a beautiful fine sight, https://bestdoubles.wordpress.com/2010/08/15/a-veiled-double-52-cygni/ Old Nick.

Dave In Vermont Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Star Splitters is an excellent resource! All fans of double-stars should 'Google & Bookmark' their site. A wealth of knowledge. Great find, Nick! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshane Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 It's a very nice double. Here's my notes from my first observation on 6/9/14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark at Beaufort Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Thanks Nick. I was not aware that 52 Cygni was a double. Like most of us I use this star to hop to the Veil. I was also not aware of the star splitter website so once again Nick thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
