3: Struve 747 - Epsilon
Monocerotis
|
|
|
OBJECT: Struve 747
|
TELESCOPE: Meade 10"
f/10 SCT |
| DATE: 11.26.1997 |
TIME: 1:15
am EST
|
| TRANSPARENCY: Good |
SEEING: Good |
| MAGNIFICATION: 96x |
LOCATION: Kalamazoo Twp. |
COMMENTS: A
beautiful, if not confusing, system. There are two separate
double stars in the field. The northern most pair has a bright
light blue primary with a fainter gray-white companion. The other
pair are close in magnitude and equal in color. It is my guess
the later pairing is Struve 747. Many assorted stars in the field
make for a wonderful view. Note: This is just north of the
Orion Nebula.

pairing in Orion's head, but not difficult to resolve. The
brightest of the two is blue and the other is more white in appearance. |

earlier mystery is now solved. This system is near the Struve 747
pairing. The primary is bright blue and the fainter companion is
a grayish white color.

| COMMENTS: A nice
multiple star system. The Astronomical League Double Star list
only mentions
three stars, but another lies very close by. There is another
pair to the upper left in the field-of-view. The brightest is
pearl white, while the other is gray-white. |

COMMENTS: I'm
a little unsure of this one. The bright light blue star is
definitely Zeta Orionis (Alnitak). I would guess the two
companions are above and below the belt star. Neither are
remarkable. By the way, no sign of the Horsehead Nebula!

COMMENTS: The
primary is light blue and vastly outshines the pale-gray
companion. The dim companion was difficult to find at low
magnification. High magnification
and a sharp focus are needed.
