Gamma Leporis
October 18, 2006: To help provide a consistent style for my double star sketches, the above sketch is a digital update to the original sketch.
Observation Notes:
This is a beautiful trio. The middle star is a deep orange. The stars look best with the 32 mm eyepiece--very brilliant, punctuated with the orange centerpiece. The 10 mm view (no barlow) looks nice too.
