cotterless45 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 After some years of chasing fuzzies and easily picking out Triangulum and M33 , it was a joy to drop down and explore the stars of Aries. The last couple of nights I revisited some of the best and a couple of new to me Struves, Σ326 and Σ394. 1 Arietis, gives a yellow and blue at 2.9". γ (Mesartim), a favourite and rightly known as the twin "rams eyes". λ Arietis (SAO 75051) is wide and delicate. 14 Arietis (SAO 75171) gives a wide triple. 30 Arietis (SAO 75471) gives yellow and blue at 38.7". Σ 291 gives a triple. π Arietis (SAO 93127) gives a straight line triple. 41 Arietis gives a straight line quadruple. Σ326 at 02h56.7m. +26 56' gives a 4.8" split. Σ394 gives a yellow and blue 6.8" at 03h29.0m. +20 31'. Plenty action here and caught right ,a comfy seat at the scope to enjoy. Under clear skies ! Nick.

domstar Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Inspiring and informative as always. Apart from Mesarthim, I've only really used Aries as a pointer to Pisces and my enemy M74. One day I'll catch it but in the meantime I'll try some of your great tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
