Close doubles
Not sure whether this makes me really sad, but I always enjoy flicking over to Rigel Kent and seeing alpha and beta nicely separated. it's something about splitting what I can see with the naked eye into multiple stars I guess.
Anyway, can anyone recommend other doubles that are close but can be separated in a 10" dob with 9-15mm or eyepiece?
Incidentally, superb seeing with Jupiter tonight, as well as an amazing amount of detail in the belts (festoons etc.) I could actually see Io itself during the transit for the first time. Had high winds and clouds for the last couple of weeks which made it all the better.
