For those who are into double star observing...

Personally I am not so much, but I know some folks like to chase doubles. Anyway, here is a link to a site that might be of interest to you - and most may already have it anyway. Take note of the announcement about WDS web access in the upper left of the page (its another link). Hope its useful to some of you. I've had it bookmarked for some time and simply forgot about it until I was cleaning out some old stuff I no longer wanted. :)

Thanks for the link Alan. I haven’t had much of an opportunity to get out there lately due to clouds or rain. I’d like to make some progress on my Herschel’s and maybe some doubles later on but the weather is so unstable lately. I hope you’re doing well and getting in some serious scope time. :text-thankyoublue:

Good luck with your weather and the Herschels Ed. Hopefully sping will not be too hard on the area, but I know it can be a volatile time as far as clouds/rain goes.

My pleasure Gabrielle. Hope it proves useful. I sometimes save links and then forget about them if its something I don't typically use myself.

I haven't done much recently. Weather and moonlight have meant I have been mostly limited to DSLR lunar shots but I have a few double star shots in my gallery:

I do the same, one of these days I actually need to organize it all so things can be found easily.
