Albireo (beta cygni) - DSI Color & LX90

Anyone living on a planet orbiting one of these stars would be treated to two suns of
different colors in their skies and never know the true meaning of darkness. The stars that make Albireo are, about 380 light years away. Waxing romantic, astronomers have called the pair topaz and sapphire. With a separation of 34 seconds of arc, the pair is easily seen at low telescopic power.

Equipment: LX90 8" SCT Alt/Az @f/20, Meade DSI Color camera, Baadar IR/UV Cut fileter, exposure 75 x .25s, gain=100/offset=50.

Post-processing: Raw Fits files debayered and color split using Fitz, De-rotation & color combined in Autostar Image Processing. Fits images loaded in Photoshop CS with Fits Liberator.
