I’ve tried to detect a bit of color by de-focusing the stars slightly, but the secondaries are just too darn faint for that to work — more often than not, they just disappear from view. As you can see, these two double stars are very similar in magnitudes and separation. I have been observing these on and off over the last few weeks. The long-legged Gemini Twins are seen here dancing in the sky with outstretched arms. I guess if I averaged my two completely different measurement methods I'd be closer, huh? I saw the earth was about to spin it into the devouring hemlock, so unable to bear the agony of watching that tree devour Wasat once again, I crept up to Kappa (κ). When in desperate need of a miracle, I usually pull out the magical and mysterious 7.5mm Celestron Plössl (157x) of Taiwan vintage, accompanied by incantations and toasts to the Sky Gods. The 3.5 magnitude primary appeared pale yellow, and the 8.5 magnitude secondary hinted at a dull red color. In the Northern hemisphere the constellation can be seen from winter to spring.

Gemini is Latin for twins, although the constellation is based on characters from Greek mythology. In Chinese philosophy Pollux and Castor are stellar representations of nature's opposites Yin and Yang. Now, to get back to the real world for a short time — let’s not overdo it, though! I measured a PA of 231° which compares to a calculated value of 226.7° for 2008.2. Sure enough, it was there, and looking again at the S&T Atlas, I saw that Wasat wasn’t shown as a double, either.
