Stars of Leo.

Leo
The pan of UMa, if it leaked water would get Leo wet. This great constellation holds much more than those faint fuzzies , so elusive from town. All these have been enjoyed from the edgeof town.

Here are my favourites.

Regulus (α)a wide 176”, great contrast here to the companion.
Algieba (γ)close 4.6”,plenty colour here described between grapefruit orange to greenish red.
Denebola (β)a wide blue and red.

6 Leonis (SAO 117751), red with a wide delicate companion at 37.1" at x50.
7 Leonis , this wide pair 41.0" gives three doubles in a wide fov.
Σ 1399 at 30.5"
ΟΣ 215, a challenging 1.5" , but near twins at x100.
Σ 1431 (SAO 118292),3.6" at a bright x160.
Σ 1447 (SAO 81415) 4.4" at x100, lovely contrast here.
Σ 1448, orange colour at 11.1".
49 Leonis, a delicate split at x216 at 2.1".
54 Leonis (SAO 81583) , yellow and blue at 6.7".
Σ 1521 (SAO 81740) 3.7" split.
Iota Leonis (SAO 99587), a 2.2" split in this "beautiful object", stunning.
81 Leonis 55.2" yellow and red.
83 and τ Leonis (SAO 118864) a parallel double double here at x50.
88 Leonis (SAO 99648), a delicate secondary 15.4" at x50.
90 Leonis (SAO 99673) a triple ,3.4" and 67".
Σ 1565 (SAO 99718) 21.7" at x50.

Above Leo to UMa is the triangular appearance of Leo Minor, I'll add this yellow and delicate blue,
Σ 1374 (SAO 61629) at a narrowing 2.8" split. 

Clear skies ! Nick.
