Description

Albireo (or Beta Cygni).

Many years ago I remember observing this through an old f15 refractor on an alt-az mount.

Wobbly as anything !! but I remember seeing the contrasting stars and thinking how amazing that things 'out-there' could be so different to our Solar System.

30 odd years later.... I'm still looking and thinking the same.
