Alberio


In the heart of the summer triangle floating in the sea of stars from ourown milky way's spiral arm lies Albireo . A close binary star system resolved here
and appears to make the star egg shaped. At approx 430 light years away. Visually
this yellow star has a wonderful companion that is a striking Blue. This 50 minute exposure
has drowned the faint colour away. Sorry!!
Perhaps a bit more aggressive processing will bring out some colour.
