Polaris and Its Companion


Recommended Posts

This is the first time I ever tried to see (let alone image) any of the companion stars of Polaris and with my 127mm Mak was able to easily pick this one out:

The toughest part was getting the Mak into position!

Cheers!

Fabulous image. I've yet to see this one. For some reason I've never gotten round to looking!

Thanks, Michael. I had heard some of our fellow loungers speak of observing Polaris' little companion which I never got around to either until recently. I'm glad I looked!

Great shot Reggie. It’s a lovely double visually, such a delicate secondary which must be very tricky to catch. Nice one.

Thanks, Stu. It was carefully exposed to catch the secondary without blowing out the primary.
