Whilst I was waiting for Jupiter to rise higher in the sky last night, (being mostly cloudy here in Concord); I grew bored and decided a solution might be to have a look at some famous doubles.
Went over to Rigel and it was loverly in the Mak or Refractor or Sct ; then over I went to Beta Monoceros; WOW! It"s a triple and looks spectacular; and if that wasn't enough, over to Iota Cancri , (the autumn Albireo) at low power, which looked even more spectacular as far as astronomical objects go.
Just wondering if more of us are doing just this, as it seems it is one great way to kill the time, whilst waiting to observe something else.
PS: As soon as I get a chance I will try for the "Pup" in Sirius!
Cheers bigjoe.
