Σ7 combo !

[cotterless45]

Looking through some 400 drawings , I found just a single shot  at Taurus.

I remember a "double double" and had another look at Σ7 with the closer Σ401 in wide field. Here's my old shot, a really beautiful sight.

Just an hour to enjoy a few others.

Σ427 (SAO 76071) showing lovely bright twins.

Σ450, (SAO 76197) showing the tiny glow of the secondary.

Phi : 52 Tauri ( SAO 76558) giving a ghostly speck of the secondary.

Wasn't getting much joy out of the sky , turned to the double double and it wouldn't split . Both pairs were just bright blurs. Just dreadful seeing before clouds tumbled in.

Other noted fine sights here,

Σ422, yellow and blue. 30 Tau (SAO 93611), a wide triple here.59 Tau (SAO 76573) blue and gold.Σ559 (SAO 94002) spectacular twins. Don't forget the wide Aldebaran and Taggeta ( one of the eyeful of stars in the Pleiades.)

Will return to Taurus under ,

Clear and better skies ! Nick.

I will copy these to my lists if I can get out Taurus is in a good position for me. Clear out now but got gale force winds so no point getting stuff out.
