The binocular double stars in Lyra: Delta Lyrae at lower left, Epsilon Lyrae at top centre, and Zeta Lyrae between Delta and bright blue Vega. Surrounding Delta Lyrae is the sparse star cluster Stephenson 1. Epsilon Lyrae is the Double Double as each of its two stars splits again into two stars at high power in a telescope. The small cluster at upper left is Sal 8, with an unnamed asterism above it. Taken in a clear sky lit by a waxing gibbous Moon, thus the blue sky background. The 7.5° x 5° field of view is close to that of binoculars. This is a stack of 8 x 2-minute exposures at f/4.4 with the SharpStar 61mm EDPH refractor and Canon R6 at ISO 400.
Epsilon Lyrae, at upper left, the Double Double Star, in Lyrae, and near Vega, at right. Taken through some high haze thus the glows around the stars. This is a stack of 8 x 4 minute exposures with the TMB apo refractor at f/4.4 with the Borg 0.85x field flattener/reducer and Canon 6D at ISO 800.
Epsilon Lyrae, the Double-Double Star in Lyra, here resolved into just the main wide pair, but each of those stars is also a tight double. Taken from home Nov. 25, 2016 with the 130mm AP f/6 apo refactor with the 6x7 field flattener and Canon 6D at ISO 800 for a stack of 4 x 3 minute exposures.
