The Double Star Albireo in Cygnus-C8/ST237 ccd camera @ f3.75; LRGB image 6:1:1:1 second exposures; 06/2003
North Canton, Ohio Notes: It is rare that an astro imager would stop to shoot a double star but
this is one of the most beautiful and is readily seen in a small telescope. The contrasting orange and
blue of the two components is striking. The separation of the 3.1 and 5.1 magnitude stars is 34 arc-seconds
