Spring Evening Double Stars (evening)
Mid-spring evenings feature many double stars worth observing in modest-sized telescopes, even while the moon is shining brightly. Among the best targets
are the differently-colored pairs of Zubanah (Iota Cancri), Algieba (Gamma Leonis), Izar (Epsilon B otis), the wide pair Nu1,2 B otis, the triple star Alkalurops (Mu B otis), and the matching pairs of Cor Caroli (Alpha Canum Venaticorum), Porrima (Gamma Virginis), and Mizar (Zeta Ursa Majoris).
