Viewing and imaging beautiful doubles is fun and easy however they often go unnoticed. You don't need any special equipment but binoculars and telescope to give you hundreds or thousands of wonderful targets.
Mr. Nancarrow will discuss double stars, multiple stars, designations, characteristics, how to observe and needed equipment.
