Andromeda multiples.

[cotterless45]

This area is totally absorbing , just forget everything and drift away ! This pastime is one probably unique in putting the observer into the quiet depths of calm space. Heads up !

 Some stunning multiples here.

Σ2987 (SAO 52795) gives a wonderfully delicate companion.

ΟΣΣ244 (SAO 52912) a triple ,has fast proper motion . Find this with ΟΣ493.

8 Andromedae (Bu 717) (SAO 52871) an orange star with multiple companions to F.

Catch both ES 2725 (SAO 52899) and ARY 3 together.

Almach is just glorious, typically gold and blue , I caught it under poor skies as an orange glow with a green companion. W. Herschel called it a "most beautiful object". Easy to pick out the fine companion.

79 Andromedae (SAO 36832) gives white and pale blue. A lovely sight.

59 (SAO 55331) gives a lovely view in circular star field.

Σ3050 (SAO 73656) gives twins at 2.5", a clear and beautiful sight.

Alpheratz is 200 times brighter than Sol. It's companion is the highest mercury manganese star known.

Σ79 ( 1h.00.1 +44 43') gives  yellow and violet pair.

Σ162 (01h.50.25 +47 58' ) gives a lovely triple with a clear B at 1.9".

Σ249 (SAO 37971) is some 38 times brighter than a Sol.

Requiring some aperture and rock steady seeing , 36 Andromedae is hard to beat . First caught it two years ago with Patbloke at 1.1" . It's opened up to 1.2".

Clear skies !

Nick.

More to add to my lists and if I get a clear night Andromeda is well placed for me.
