Modern telescopes of even modest aperture can show thousands of
double stars. Many are faint and unremarkable but hundreds are
worth searching out. Veteran double-star observer Bob Argyle and
his co-authors take a close-up look at their selection of 175 of
the night sky's most interesting double and multiple stars. The
history of each system is laid out from the original discovery to
what we know at the present time about the stars. Wide-field finder
charts are presented for each system along with plots of the
apparent orbits and predicted future positions for the orbital
systems. Recent measurements of each system are included which will
help you to decide whether they can be seen in your telescope, as
well as giving advice on the aperture needed. Double star observers
of all levels of experience will treasure the level of detail in
this guide to these jewels of the night sky.
