Hi Asod! Last night I observed Beta Monocerotis, which is called the most beautiful multiple star of our skies. I also loved it, so I decided to sketch the star with my dobsonian telescope 10” f/5. Seeing was not bad, so with 250x I could note easily all the components; but colours were not simple to note, all of them seem to me white, bluish and greenish…
Wonderful star!

Massimiliano,
This is a fine multiple. Nice sketch and post.
Frank 🙂
Wonderful star and really nice sketch.
It’s difficult to render star color, but you did it well.
I will try to find this star system soon. Good idea.
Thanks, Jean-Marc (APAM Astroclub – FR)
