Description

So I was observing Polaris last night and was able to "easily" split it with 31x on my TSA-102 and my Istar telescopes. So I decided to take a picture of it and as you can see, no double. Is it possible Polaris is just blown out too much and covering the double? Maybe I'll try processing the image again and see if I can get it to appear.
