Pinging the APOD list.
This one is a pretty good animation of how a binary star system of a Neutron Star and a Sun-like star could produce a mini quasar in a way that is similar to a quasar formed by a black hole in a new galaxy.

Cool animation of this binary system/quasar.
I was always fascinated with stars of all types.
I shot this image of Albireo a few weeks ago. This is thought to be a binary system. Then again, others say it's a visual double, not a binary system which orbit each other. They shine like magnificent jewels! The brighter yellow star makes a striking color contrast with its fainter blue companion star. Albireo is about 430 light-years away from the Earth.
This is a single image test shot in raw format. 30 second exposure/6.3 focal reducer.

I read a great book about this star system back 30+ years ago. Very bizarre star system.
Nice to see it pop up again
