Those crazy double-star observers. Hmm...my mom had to die so I could afford my telescope, but I didn't actually murder her for the inheritance or anything.
I wonder what six hundred dollars bought in the way of a good glass back then...Eighty years later, I got as much telescope as I can physically handle for four hundred and fifty. And it splits the Trapesium quite easily.
But I haven't had nights out under the stars like that for many years.
