Hi all
Corvus was visible low to the south, just above the roof of the shed and id one of those constellations that don't get a lot of attention. I was looking for doubles n this small constellation and hot upon a pair of beauts.
STF 1604: A lovely 7th magnitude yellow primary sits with a 8th magnitude pale blue companion. Close to the primary is a 10th magnitude white star that makes this system a triple star.
STF 1669: Two golden 6th magnitude stars sit in close proximity to each other, the separation is 5.3 and using higher magnifications really show this pair to their best. There is a fainter third member, 10th magnitude, but it gets lost in the beauty of the primary and secondary.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.
