This week I photographed three double stars, the first three objects of the Astronomical League Double Star Observing Program. Exposures of these stars is typically very short. For some of them even 0.1s. It also makes processing a bit of a challenge because regular processing tools do not always work and manual work needs to be done. Anyway, here are the three objects in field of views of 2’ x 2’. 📷 Inzets.png
Details on this little project can be found on my website.
The project made me wonder if there would be examples of double stars that can be reasonably imaged and have short enough periods that in a few months to a year, an almost full orbit can be captured? That would make for some exciting GIF sequence… If you know of a potential candidate, please let us know.
