"DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE" Rich's Double Star Sketches
#645976 - 10/17/05 01:44 PM

It has been suggested, since I do a lot of sketches, that I organize them into one primary post for easy access.

The sketches are drawn using Paint Shop Pro 8.

Feel free to make any comments. I hope you enjoy the sketches and hope they encourage others to a more active involvement in observing double stars.

Very well done!!

This documents the colors and separations so much better
than numbers on a page!

"FAST" Visual Binaries new

[Re: asteroid7]
#666741 - 11/01/05 09:57 AM

For the record: Visual Binaries noted on my double star sketches are for fast visual binaries that show seperation (hundreds of a second) and position angle movements in a relatively short time, as compared to "stationary" binaries, like Gamma Arietis and Gamma Andromeda, which have not changed in position angle in few centuries or so, but really are binary systems which share a common proper motion, as in the case of Gamma Arietis, in which the two stars share a common proper motion of 0.14 seconds annually.

Is STT 254 also called WZ Cass? It looks like it. That is one of my favorite doubles for color. Great work.

#678400 - 11/08/05 08:10 PM

Yes, you're right. STT 254 is also a Semi-Regular variable star called WZ Cassiopeia. Currently, it is around magnitude 7.5 according to estimations of AAVSO. It has a range of 6.7 - 8.3 magnitudes, with a period of 186 days. Listed as a carbon star, so it is red indeed!
