Rigil Kentaurus, Acrux, Theta 1 Ori and Antares

Hi Ving

Here are 4 multiple stars I captured with my Vixen ED102mm f9 refractor, TeleVue x5 PowerMate, Vixen x2 Barlow using the Meade LPI CMOS digital camera.

Images were taken back in 2004.

Rigil Kentaurus and Acrux were captured using Vixen x2 Barlow.
Theta 1 Ori was captured using Televue x5 PowerMate.
Antares was captured using Televue x5 PowerMate and Vixen x2 Barlow stacked. The bright orange ring around Antares is the first diffraction ring resulting from the extremely high magnification used to capture the image.

Cheers

Dennis
