Description
I shot Capella Thursday night in order to get my scope/camera in focus. Here is the picture.
Capella is actually a pair of type "G" stars on there way to becoming red giants. It has a magnitude of 0.08 and is the sixth brightest star. Look for it in the east to north east sky at about 45degrees up around 10:00 at night. You can actually see the gold color compared to the surrounding stars. Thanks for viewing!
