Albireo

Description

Albireo is a pretty Double Star, and it is not known whether the pair orbit each other or if they are simply lined up to appear that way.

I think their relationship is emphasized by the addition of diffraction spikes, which in this case are not the result of any computer effects, but simply the result of a bit of painters tape and some twine used to mimic the spider vanes of a large reflector.

I like the result, and will continue to experiment with this technique.
