Double Star Resources on the Internet
Andrew James
In the last few decades the advent of the Internet has made resources available so that amateurs are able to mine data and contribute greatly to serious research. Such possibilities are also true for double star observations, imaging, physical measures, and analysing historical data.
The poster lists some of the available resources and highlights examples of how original and important contributions can be made to the science of double stars.
Andrew James is a Sydney amateur astronomer who has made various presentations at several NACAA since 1980. His specialist interests include double stars and planetary nebulae. He is currently working on the discovery and observations of double stars made in Australia during the 19th Century. His presentations here are as an independent free-lance amateur astronomer unattached from the Societies.
