Notes:
John Mayer discovered its binary nature in 1788.
1830: 10.3 @ 62. Over 100 measurements.
In 1842, Otto Struve found B to be a double. It is a binary with a period of 62 years
(Muller, 1957). The greatest separation is 0.55", with periastron occuring in 1982, 2012,
2043, etc.
In 1960, A was found to be a spectrscopic binary with a 2.67 day period. It is also an
infra-red source.
The A-Bb separation is about 800 AU, while BC is something like 30 AU.
The complex is a member of the Pleiades group. The stars share common proper
motion.
From James Kaler's Star Notes:
Star colors are usually subtle, rather washed out. But put two contrasting stars close
together and they play against each other, the colors becoming far more vivid to the eye.
Admiral Smythe, who wrote the definitive nineteenth century book on celestial sights,
refers to them as "orange and emerald green."
The second magnitude brighter component, called "Gamma-1," is a warm class K
bright giant with a temperature around 4,500 Kelvin and a star now in the act of dying. It
has a radius 80 solar, big enough to take the star to the orbit of Venus. More remarkable,
the fainter blue-green component, Gamma-2, is also double, though the duplicity is far
more difficult to see. The two fifth magnitude stars orbit each other with a period of
about 60 years, and though they are now near their greatest separation, they are still but a
-3-
Zone 84
half-second of arc apart, stellar twinkling making them almost impossible to see singly.
Yet again the system splits, as the brighter of these two is also double, though detectable
only with the spectrograph, the components very close and orbiting every 2.7 days. These
three of Gamma-2 are hotter white "main sequence" stars that like the Sun fuse hydrogen
to helium, their temperatures in the neighborhood of 10,000 Kelvin. Gamma-2 is thus
triple and the naked-eye star we know as Almach quadruple, making it a feast for both
the mind and for the eye. One or two other more distant stars might belong to the system
as well.
Observations:
C8 at 65x. Both William Herschel and F. Struve saw them as Y and B, but Admiral
Smyth called them "orange and emerald green." Webb saw them as D and B. "One of
the most beautiful pairs in the heavens," he wrote.

NGC 891 is a fine edge-on spiral with a faint dust lane along its equator. According to
Admiral Smyth, it is another discovery of Caroline Herschel, who found it in August,
1783. Her brother William Herschel cataloged it as H V 19.
Supernova 1986J was discovered in NGC 891 by van Gorkom, Rupen, Knapp, Gunn
on August 21, 1986 and reached mag 14.
Observations:
C8 at 104x. It is a faint, long streak that lies 1deg N of the 6.7m star SAO 38002.
Try for the dust lane with high power. The axis runs NE-SW.
C11 at 115x. Very faint N-S streak with a very gradually brighter center.

Its diameter would be 48 million miles.

Astronomical Leage Program: Messier Club
Rating: 2 E
Position: 0242+4247
Type: Oc
Dimensions: 35'
Class: II 3r
Cluster population: 100
Magnitude: 5.2
Notes:
Messier listed it on August 25, 1764.
It is 177 million years old and 18 light years in diameter. Its earliest stars are B8
types, and there are several odd stars (Ap's, Am's, shell). The brightest star is 7.3m.
This cluster lies 28,800 light years from the galactic center and 390 light years below
the galactic plane.
Observations:
C8 at 65x. Exquisite! Many B and W stars, it is loose and large.
It contains: OS44 and h1124 (center), h1123 (N of center), and h2155 (NE quadrant).
C11 at 115x. I call this "The Spread-Eagle Man" cluster. It resembles a spread-eagle
man (axis running NW to SE) with two bright stars for his "eyes". The arms are raised,
the legs spread apart. There is even evidence of his manhood between the legs!
Model (where the Sun is a baseball):
Its diameter would be 5,800 miles and its stars would be 624 miles apart.
Distance (LY): 1,630
Luminosity (suns): 1,730

Delta Scuti variable.

Burnham split A and found a 6.7m star at 0.2 @ 159 (1878). By 1911, Bryant had

NGC 1023
Other Names: UGC 2154, H I 156
Astronomical League Program: Herschel 400 Club
Rating: 2 E
Position: 0241+3903
Type: Gal
Surface brightness: 13.1
Class: SB(rs)0Dimensions: 5' x 1'
Magnitude: 11.0
PA: 87
Notes:
It is a radio source and is the progenitor of a small galactic cluster known as the NGC
1023 Group, being the largest and most massive galaxy of the group (inlcuding NGC
891, 925, 949, 959, 1003, 1023A, 1058, and UGC 1807, 2023, 2034, and IC 239).
Observations:
C8 at 65x. A bright nucleus (almost planet-like), but small; it looks good at medium
powers. Two very faint stars lie to the SW; the E end appears a little brighter. It lies
inside a 9m triangle. Its axis runs E-W.
C11 at 115x. Nice field. The galaxy looks like a football with a very rapidly brighter
center and extensive halo.
Distance: 34,000,000 light years
Radial velocity (km/sec): +709
Luminosity: 3,700,000,000 Suns
