Messier 33 or Pinwheel Galaxy in my 60x828 mm refractor

Messier 33 or ''Pinwheel  Galaxy'' as seen through my 60x828 mm refractor telescope
on November 1st , 2015.

The magnification of 33x was obtained with a Sirius Plossl 25mm ocular,

field of view = 1,57 degree , a prism diagonal was used.
Only the core of the galaxy was visible.
However, this observation was made from the middle of a 200.000 city.

The very fine objective of this refractor telescope was created by my friend Silviu aka ''zoth''.

59 CYGNI , SIGMA 2741 , 17 CYGNI

Multiple star 59 Cygni , or Sigma 2743 , as seen in my 60x828mm refractor at 138 x / Baader Classic 6mm Ortho.
As understood in  a discussion on ''60mmtelescopeclub'' with Thomas Jensen , only the star at PA= 350 degree is actually a companion listed at a separation of 20,3 '' and mv= 9.5 in Burnham's ''Celestial Book''.
The other two companions , being of mv= 11.5 and mv=12, were out of reach of the 60mm refractor due to the strong Moon light.

This double star was seen on the same night in the Northern part of Cygnus but not identified.
The star was found to be Sigma 2741 on October 30 ,using the same gear.
The double star was not split but the two kissing Airy discs were clearly visible.
What a beautiful celestial gem!

17 Cygni is wide but very fine triple star due to the pinpoint but colorful companions.

TRIPLA CONJUNCTIE PLANETARA VENUS-JUPITER-MARTE /TRIPLE PLANETARY CONJUNCTION VENUS-JUPITER-MARS

Miercuri 28 Octombrie 2015 , la orele 5 dimineata , am facut cateva fotografii ale triplei conjunctii planetare Venus-Jupiter -Marte .
Am folosit  ''sapuniera'' mea ,aparatul foto digital compact Nikon Coolpix S3300 ,montat pe un trepied integral  metalic Velbon.
Wednesday 28 October  at about five o'clock in the morning ,I took a few pictures of the triple planetary conjunctions of Venus-Jupiter-Mars.
I used my Nikon Coolpix S3300 compact digital camera set on an all-metal Velbon tripod.


                                                                 

Venus-Jupiter-Mars Triple Planetary Conjunction on 28 Oct. 2015 ,
large field of  view at f=6,8mm F/4.2

Venus at middle  with  Jupiter above and Mars left-below.
Medium field size at f = 11,3mm F/5.6.

On original pics ,the light of Venus have a ''solar'' hue , that of Jupiter a cold-silvery color while Mars is fiery red.

The last two pics were taken  at f=27,6mm F/6.5,about maximum optical zoom.
Beautiful ,  impressive triple conjunction !
