| Notes:* | Thought I would try something different ... this night was very poor
for normal deep sky imaging ... very hazy, moist atmosphere ... so I
imaged this multiple star system from something I saw in the August 2011
Sky & Telescope. This visual description of 8 Lacertae from "The Belt of Venus" website: Observation Notes: There was a lot of color in this beautiful star-filled view. The primary took on a green color with a blue secondary. Further to the south was a faint, possibly red-orange component. At the west end of the view was another, brighter blue star. |
