Multiple stars; Trapezium, Sigma, Eta & Tau Orion

[Dennis]

Hello,

I’ve just got around to processing these multiple star images that I recorded on 23rd Jan, when we still had clear skies in Brisbane!

Thanks for looking!

Wow Dennis! Eta Ori is cleanly split there! Very nice work... You've definitely done a good job on the trapezium too!!

Good work mate.

Good one Dennis, those trapezium 5 and 6 stars are very faint.

Thats good shooting Dennis,well done!

nice to this ,

Cheers Chris

Thanks guys!

There’s something quite fascinating and almost hypnotic about observing double stars. A few times each year the bug bites quite deeply and I’ve just gotta get out there and do meself some splittin’….:)

It’s nice to have some targets that are relatively immune to a full Moon and the bright city lights of Brisbane!:)

Cheers

Great shot. We tend to look down on double stars these days as "boring", but they can generate some interesting shots. I particularly like the grouping of several shots. It's nice to contrast the differences.

Very nice indeed Dennis :) The Trapezium is amazing! Great to see what the Mewlon can do for an experienced operator. :thumbsup:

Very cool work. Nicely presented too. :thumbsup:

Impressive collection, Dennis!
Good pick up of the two 11th magnitude stars around the Trapezium.
Lovely image of sigma Orionis.

If you haven't imaged it already, try beta Monocerotis, a nice triple of blue-white stars all of 5th magnitude.
Refreshing to see some images of multiple stars instead of the usual run of the mill nebulae and galaxies! :D

Regards, Rob.

Thanks for your comments guys – there is something special about seeing these stellar powerhouses in such close proximity, whether it be real or line of sight.

@RobH (Rob) – I have just finished a pane with Beta Mon, a most beautiful triple star system! I’ll post this shortly.

Cheers

Cheers Kev.

Excellent work, beautifully presented my friend !


Totally agree Dennis, I love viewing doubles/multiples too.
When observing at the Pony Club I love having a look at them through the various scopes on offer.

Thanks for sharing these.
