ALBIREO
Albireo (Beta Cygni) is considered to be one of the most beautiful double stars in the sky. It is the visible star at the foot of the Northern Cross in the constellation Cygnus, but actually consists of a pair of stars, one golden yellow (mag. 3.09) and one sapphire blue (mag. 5.11). Albireo is believed to be a physical pair (gravitationally bound). This image represents my first attempt at WCMY imaging and is a composite of 40, 20, 20, and 20, .001-sec images in white, cyan, magenta, and yellow taken on 12 September 1999.
