Stelle Doppie contains:
155585 records from the WDS catalog (Release 2023-08-11)
3579 records from the ORBIT6 catalog with 2988 matches and 322 suspected (Release 2023-08-11)
30279 records matched to HIPPARCOS catalog
96191 records matched to Tycho-2
47569 records matched to Henry Draper (HD) catalog
6568 records matched to Harvard Revised (HR) catalog
35950 records matched to SAO catalog
136439 records matched to Gaia DR2
289 common star names
405 double star reports (363 distinct doubles)
519 measured
If you're a newcomer, you could ask yourself: and now what I have to do?
Ok, don't panic. First, click on the
Database tab and look at the left vertical bar: I prepared ready-to-use double star selections for you.
Just click on the names, for example the
most populars doubles list or the
three stars systems list
Next, I suggest to
register yourself choosing a username and password: once you're logged in, use the Setup tab to setup your site's preferences.
Remember to input your telescope's diameter (aperture): by means of the Dawes formula I can calculate the minimum separation between two stars permitted by your instrument, so you can filter out doubles too close to be seen.
Have fun!
