“Pull down the night, lay it before me…
Night recalls tranquility
A curtain falls and sets it free
Darkness calls eternity
Down silent halls the shadows flee”

Blondie ‘Forgive and Forget’ – No Exit (2004)

ABOUT THESE SOUTHERN
DOUBLE STAR PAGES

DOUBLE STAR, sometimes abbreviated as just doubles, are stable gravitationally bound star systems that have two or more components visible using optical aid. This includes triple stars and other multiple systems, but not the larger star clusters.

I have been interested in double stars for many years now and slowly have been building up my observations of these over many years of these sometimes attractive objects. At last count, I have observed more than 2000 systems, of which the majority have been southern systems below —30° declination. Among these pages are some interesting descriptions some of these doubles, which I have ordered by Right Ascension. There is also two indexes showing all the documented written pairs. Hopefully, these new and improved pages will gradually be further expanded, and will include more articles and descriptions as I have time to do so – so it is probably best to book mark this page.

Clear skies and good splitting!
