[QUOTE="CoronaBorealis, post: 3240651, member: 43847"] Very cool. The binary star in the handle of the Big Dipper is Alcor/Mizar. In clear enough skies and with good enough eyesight, you can actually split those with your naked eye. My eyesight isn't quite that good, but when I look at them I can definitely tell there's something different about them even if I can't fully split them. Stars can be pretty to look at through telescopes (Antares, Vega) but in my opinion the most interesting things are the galaxies, globular clusters and nebulae. Other than different colors, stars all tend to look just like points of light. In my opinion, no galaxy or nebulae looks exactly the same. Globular clusters are also pretty remarkable to look at. Some of the oldest objects in the universe with literally THOUSANDS of stars packed into a very very small region of space. Enjoy your time! [/QUOTE]
