Doubles I like to show people:
1. Alpha Cent - 79.9 year orbit, roughly at their closest, plenty of miscel. info to chat about and can see the orientation change over a the years
2. Acrux - something about two essentially identical stars
3. Theta Ori - the Trap is magnificent and plenty to discuss regarding how it formed, what's role is at the moment, how it is tearing apart the nebula etc.
4. h 3945 for the colours - interesting to hear what people say they see
Lots of others for honourable mentions including:
Gamma Vir - it is openning up at the moment, changing quickly (relatively speaking)
Rigel - bright + faint in the diffraction ring
SDBL H27 - stumbled across this one in a nice star field
SDBL PZ 2 (Acamar, The Eri) - nice pair
Sigma Ori - lovely multiple with another almost mirror but fainter nearby
Lamba Ori - nice yellow/orange
