Albireo<\/b><\/h3>\n
Turn your telescope to the head of Cygnus the Swan, the gleaming double star Albireo. The two stars that make up this pair appear with different colors through a telescope, as one is much hotter than the Sun and one much cooler.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Because this star is so bright, you can choose whether or not to use Enhanced Vision. If you want to see the clear separation between the stars, you may instead use the \u201cEdit\u201d button at the bottom of your live view screen to reduce the Gain and Exposure time of the image. This will allow you to better tell the stars apart. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.unistellar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/albireo-116s-david-rowe-1024×1024-1.jpg” title_text=”albireo-116s-david-rowe-1024×1024″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” width=”65%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”RGBA(186,186,186,0.81)” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Albireo captured by David Rowe with Enhanced Vision.<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Find this open cluster in the constellation of Cygnus.

The difference between these two types of cluster is namely their age and concentration of stars – open clusters are not as dense and contain younger stars, while globular clusters contain older, densely packed stars. Scientists eventually settled on designating the Angelfish as a young, loosely concentrated globular cluster.
