"Virgo Doubles, Part 2"

In today's featured report Bigzmey (Andrey) continues where he recently left off with a session viewing more doubles and multiples in Virgo. Among the stars he captured were Vindemiatrix and Porrima, two well known stars which themselves are primaries in their systems. Vindemiatrix is known as a well known jumping off point for the famed Virgo galaxy cluster as between this star and Denebola in Leo lay the richest hunting grounds.

But Andrey's focus on this eve at home was doubles. With great descriptions and accurate assessment of the contrasting colors of these stars, one can get fired up to go for these systems, especially those of us who are suburban and urban astronomers. Utilizing his 7" Maksutov he notes the clear crisp views and pinpoint nature of the stars themselves. Congratulations Andrey on winning the VROD for the day!
