Multiple Stars
My double star life has just started and I have nothing else yet here to
show. But I am happy to get involved in this interesting world.
I have to note here that the skies I can see from my balcony are really
small and full of light pollutions of Osaka. So the conditions are always
poor. Besides polar axis scope cannot be used because of the direction
of the balcony.
North is under, east is right.
