The asterism Stargate is a multiple star system, known as Struve 1659.
The sketch is made with my 8" Dobson with a magnification of 111x.

A wonderful capture of the Stargate and it does remind me of the gate Buck Rogers would fly through! Nicely done. For information on this asterism can be found here

Very nice. I just observed this asterism for the first time this past weekend. You've rendered exactly what I saw.

Thanks all!
The Stargate is a remarkable asterism. Via Corvus also easy to find. So if you are observing Virgo or Corvus, you really have to check this one out!

Now I feel like an idiot for always skipping over this one and going straight to M104. Nice sketch of an interesting system, You've inspired me to sketch it myself.
