Beta Indus - Binary System

[jsmoraes]

This capture needed experiments of ISO and exposition. The stars are very close and component A is very bright. The graphic process was hard, too.

That must have been a hard one, mag 3.65 vrs 12.5. Just as well the diffraction spikes were away from the fainter one.

Hi Jorge, I'm finding your series on double stars very interesting. I particularly like the way you are presenting them. Well done mate, keep up the good work.

Thank you.
I don't like of spikes. For me they are a distortion, a corruption of the stars' shape.

I agree with you, Rex. Double stars are very interesting system. I did a better presentation with Riguel Centaurus. But normally it is very difficult find information about binary system.
