Clear sky last Wednesday night plus binocular equals Joanie under the stars. Had a great night on double stars, especially those in Lyra, where I managed to split everything available in a 10x binocular. The easy stuff - the binocular half of the famous double double, delta 1 and 2 - posed no challenge, but were lovely, just the same. The real fun started when I turned my tripod mounted Nikon 10x70 Astroluxe on the more challenging binocular doubles. I cleanly split Zeta, then moved on to Sheliak (Beta), which was a bit tougher due to the fainter companion. I then moved to the much fainter OS525, but still managed to split, despite the nasty light pollution. I finished up in Lyra with OSS181, which, being in the same field as Albireo, made for an interesting comparison with that celebrity status double. I then said good-bye for the evening with one of my favorites, Kuma in Draco. So much to see, so little sleep!
