I'm a fan of double star observing and I hope it becomes more popular. Regarding Zeta Cancri, the two closer companions look like a peanut at 225x in my 4" refractor, and the split is visible at 300x in my 6" refractor. I had good seeing conditions for these observations. -------------------- Regards, Mr. Wang . . . . . . . My gallery . . . . . . . I'm a refractor guy!
