Double stars

Most recent image at the top. Images by 25 cm Teleport and Philips Toucam Pro web camera, unless otherwise noted.
The Trapezium in Orion, on 15. Feb 2004, captured at f/10. The E and F-stars are visible. This is my first image using the raw-modification of the Toucam camera. 120 of 400 frames stacked. Seeing was about 4/10. Click the thumbnail for full size. Same as below, but processed more to show the separation better. 800% size. This image is not representative of the view in the eyepiece, where the two components appear much closer. But hey, it looks impressive! Zeta Bootes on May 31 2002. The separation is about 0.77" here. The seeing was good this night. Stack of about 40 images, enlarged to 400% size Gamma Virginis, May 31 2002. I think the separation is 1.3" here. Stack of 20 images, enlarged to 400% size. Epsilon Bootes on May 21 2002. Nice color contrast in this pair. Castor Apr 30 2002.
