Observation Notes:<\/b><\/p>\n

Sigma Coronae Borealis was a beautiful multiple star. The primary was a rich yellow with a reddish purple secondary right next to it. A third component (the D star) lingered to the east. The two closest stars, A and B, were separated by the radius of 6 diffraction rings. This works out to 7.4 arcseconds. The 2007.3 value from Brian Workman’s double star calculator yields a separation of 7.15 arcseconds. I did not spot the C component, a 13th magnitude star 21 arcseconds to the west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
