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.

Nice photo! Any idea how long it takes them to do one revolution around each other?
