[AztecastroMcJ]

Thought i'd post this in here for any d.star fans

Yeh really chuffed with this pic taken last night bout 00.30am(22.07.09)again using my mob phone cam hand held at 25mm eyepiece

Shows my fav double Star Albireo (Beta Cygni)

found in Cygnus Constellation inside Summer Triangle or

at foot of Northern Cross(or beak of Swan)

which contains

Orange/amber Albireo A and Blue Albireo B

this is my favourite destination to test my accuracy of my Alignment of my Goto scope and always send my scope their 1st to check alignment ok

heres few notes i took from my handset,

Albeiro distance is 380Lyrs away, has mag of 3.2, seperation is 35 Arc secs.

there was alot of noise in my pic so i adjusted brightness and contrast using Nero app, also resized and zoomed in bit on crop,really chuffed with this,

maybe try a few more D.Star pics now,
