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'.

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.
