Delta2 Lyrae, a multiple challenge

Recommended Posts

Skysafari lists Delta2 Lyrae as a double, with magnitudes  4.28 & 11.20,      But search stelledoppie.it

and this is a summary of the result; a multiple with 11 components potentially visible in an amateur scope.

This is my plot of the above data.

With a 200p F/5 in Bortle 8 skies/ average seeing, I have seen the 6 brightest components to mag 10.30. The mag 11.20 should be doable but has eluded me so far.

I think that for my setup, the dimmest 4 stars will need darker skies or better eyes 😀

If you are observing Delta2 Lyrae, how many components can you identify?
