Observation tonight?

June 12th, 2006
The Clear Sky clock nearest me (in Annapolis) suggests tonight is a good night to observe:

but I have to work tomorrow too! I might compromise and go out with binoculars so there is no time required to put up and take down the telescope.

Meanwhile, here is another observation, of one of the most popular double stars, Alberio, also known as Beta Cygni, the southernmost (bottom) star of the Northern Cross. It is easy to find (in the eastern sky in the Milky Way, near the Summer Triangle of Deneb, Altair, and Vega).
