cotterless45 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Eta Persei, top of Perseus. Spent many long moments whisked away by gold and blue. It's a wonderful group of stars. It's quite challenging to pick companions out from the glow. Don't go with the obvious binary , there's many delicate ones to pick out here. Last night was ideal for transparency , nice wide view will do fine, under Clear Skies ! Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiltonstar Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Nice sketch Nick. It would be interesting to see how this is mapped in the new Skysafari v6 Pro - as well as the physical pair, I always see a good clutch of other stars nearby which are optical only according to CDSA. Anyone? For comparison, this is the CDC view (UCAC4). I've changed it to EP view for a frac/mak, and added mags. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotterless45 Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 That's particularly neat ! I get a lot of inspiration from here , some great background stories, https://bestdoubles.wordpress.com/?s=Miram Folk chasing after faint fuzzy things don't know what they're missing ! old Nick.

Paul67 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 The Cambridge double star atlas shows the following as showcase systems in Perseus. (where an M is shown before the number, turn it on its side 90degrees anti clockwise to give the sigma symbol as on the maps) M 162 Splendid (2)+1+1 quadruple. M 268 Close pair, delicate brightness contrast. Ary 72 Distant, high mass multiple star or comoving group with K supergiant, at the core of trumpler 2, a cluster about 80 million years old. Fine visual example of the transition from natal cluster to multiple star. OM 44 Distant high mass 2+1 triple. 15 eta M 307 Miram,(2)+1 triple. M 331 HHigh mass (2)+(2) spectroscopic quadruple. M 369 High mass double, dominant in sparse field. 38 omi beta 535 Spectroscopic binary in rich field. 45 eps M 471 High mass (2)+1+1 quadruple. OM 77 2+1 triple, pretty, nearly matched trio beautifully displayed in dark field. Hopefully you can pull these up on your maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wookie1965 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Going to add this to my lists should get good views with 5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotterless45 Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Yo ! Great findings there Paul ! I have combined Eagle Creek and Sissy Haas to arrive at an interesting ( part one ) list . Part of my ongoing search into the delights of Perseus, old Nick.

Mr Spock Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Nice grouping. What instrument were you using for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
