Lacerta gems.

[cotterless45]

Lacerta and a bit of darkness around midnight. A cool 8.6 degrees C and a sqm of +9.15. Set in the Milky Way , Lacerta gives great wide field views. These are to me ,a few of the best of Lacerta on offer.

h 1735 at x48 gives a wide view of this multiple. Nicely wide components , looking just stunning .

13 Lacertae a lovely very delicate wide companion , glimpsed by averted vision.

8 Lacertae, another great multiple group in an arc.

Σ 2902, a full field.

Σ 2906 ,a close 4.2" giving a lovely tiny companion.

 

 

Plenty to view here , hoping for clear skies !

As always bring a smile reading your session notes Nick.
Always inspiring.
Bring on Astro Darkness and a power cut soon please 🤞
OK - naughty me about a power cut - but all those darn spot light would go out near me!

It is funny that when I try to describe why look at double stars to non astronomers it sounds madness,
but as soon as I read about them or observe them it gets me feeling buoyant.
