On the nights of December 8 and 9 2004 I observed some double stars in
Auriga, Orion and Gemini. This was the first time ever I observed and
sketched double stars for a few hours on two consecutive nights, and it
was fun! Not only to make the sketches but also to try and recognize
the different colours and try to estimate the difference in magnitudes
between the different components of double/multiple stars.
To read the full story and have a look at the sketches of Omega
Aurigae, Rigel, Castor, 14 Aurigae, Struve 698, and many others just
