1001 Celestial Wonders: Part 10 | Mizar! (Note: See the notes below for a discovery post-production)

2:52 - Updated: They are locked! See Description below. 3:15 - Video continues: Thanks for watching Important note! -- During the video, I mention the long-held view that Mizar and Alcor were just "visual doubles." This was the long-held view and the view I learned as a kid, growing up with a fascination of the night sky. But as soon as I finished this video, I had this thought - what if mizar and Alcor are part of the same system? What if I was wrong as a kid? I went to the web and did the research (that I should have done before starting the video; the research that Bakich doesn't mention - because he wrote all of the manuscript for his book prior to 2009!) -- and discovered, to my surprise, that research in 2009 has now confirmed that Mizar and Alcor are linked gravitationally. In fact, there are at least six stars orbiting each other in their system. Mizar is actually two binary pairs - so the two "stars" that I show in this video are actually two doubles and Alcor is a binary pair as well - so, together, they form a six-star system. So sorry I didn't mention it in the video! --- Tonight we're continuing our pursuit of Michael Bakich's 1001 Celestial Wonders to See Before You Die - Part 10. We're continuing to get used to our new remote desktop software/framework as we connect to our new mini-pc out at the base of the scope in the observatory. Tonight, we deep-dive on Mizar in the "Big Dipper." For what it's worth, we're relying on the following: Optical Tube Assembly: 11-inch Celestron Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph telescope Mount: iOptron CEM70G Primary Imaging Camera: ZWO ASI2600MC Pro Observatory: Pier-Tech Tele-station 2 Pier: Pier-Tech Adjustable-Height Pier Dew Shield: Celestron 11 RASA Aluminum Dew Shield All-Sky Camera - ZWO ASI178MM [working again via remote desktop software! Yay!] The USB hub on the equipment plate (riding up on the scope) is a Pegasus Astro USB Control Hub. That equipment plate also carries a Pegasus Astro Pocket Powerbox Micro to power the USB Hub and cameras, as well as control the dew heater bands to prevent dew build-up on the two cameras. Filter: Celestron Light-Pollution Imaging Filter Focus Motor: Celestron Focus Motor Focusing Software: NINA with Hocus Focus plug-in by George Hilios (jokogeo) Streaming software: OSB with Stream Deck Planetarium software: Stellarium Imaging (EAA) software: Sharpcap with "EAACP" (EAA Control Panel) available in the AstroPlanner scripts section. Portable operating solution: Operating approximately 200 feet from the observatory, with a mini-pc at the base of the scope. Remote connecting using Splashtop remote desktop software. All USBs are combined on the scope and routed down through one USB cable to the mini-PC.
