0.4 primary, and I didn't have any luck with the other two doubles there despite trying for about a dozen nights. Well, that's it for this month. Galaxies have not featured prominently in this column so far this year, but that will be remedied next time, when Peter Ogilvie boldly takes us deep into the heart of their megaparsec habitat. Multiple Stars in Ara Ross Gould During my time with the Sutherland Astronomical Society last summer, both Les Dalrymple and Peter Williams remarked, on hearing of my project on double star observing, on the fine pair in the cluster NGC 6193 in Ara. You too can look it up right now, if you go out observing in the late evening, when Scorpius has come reasonably high in the East, trailing Ara to its South.
Closer examination shows more components.
Curiously he doesn't mention the Dunlop companion. Two of these were found by John Herschel, the faintest by Innes. I have seen all six stars with the 18cm refractor at Downer, at 180x. The star cluster, being rather loose and wide, benefits from a lower power. The field is attractive in this area.
