Retaining map No. 13 as our guide, we examine the western part of the constellation Capricornus. Its leader alpha is a naked-eye double, the two stars being a little more than 6' apart. Their magnitudes are three and four, and both have a yellowish hue. The western star is alpha^1, and is the fainter of the two. The other is designated as alpha^2. Both are double. The components of alpha^1 are of magnitudes four and eight and a half, distance 44", p. 220 deg.. With the Washington twenty-six-inch telescope a third star of magnitude fourteen has been found at a distance of 40", p. 182 deg.. In alpha^2 the magnitudes of the components are three and ten and a half, distance 7.4", p. 150 deg.. The smaller star has a companion of the twelfth or thirteenth magnitude, distance 1.2", p. 240 deg.. This, of course, is hopelessly beyond our reach. Yet another star of magnitude nine, distance 154", p. 156, we may see easily. Dropping down to beta, we find it to be a most beautiful and easy double, possessing finely contrasted colors, gold and blue. The larger star is of magnitude three, and the smaller, the blue one, of magnitude six, distance 205", p. 267 deg.. Between them there is a very faint star which larger telescopes than ours divide into two, each of magnitude eleven and a half; separated 3", p. 325 deg.. Still farther south and nearly in a line drawn from alpha through beta we find a remarkable group of double stars, sigma, pi, rho, and omicron. The last three form a beautiful little triangle. We begin with sigma, the faintest of the four. The magnitudes of its components are six and nine, distance 54", p. 177 deg.. In pi the magnitudes are five and nine, distance 3.4", p. 145 deg.; in rho, magnitudes five and eight, distance 3.8", p. 177 deg. (a third star of magnitude seven and a half is seen at a distance of 4', p. 150 deg.); in omicron, magnitudes six and seven, distance 22", p. 240 deg.. The star cluster 4608 is small, yet, on a moonless night, worth a glance with the five-inch. [Illustration: MAP NO. 14.]
