We all take stars for granted, they are just there many are bright enough to be seen from the city. There are people who specialize in Spectography (Spectrography is the technique of recording and analyzing the spectrum of light or other radiation emitted or absorbed by materials. It is used in various fields, including astronomy and chemistry, to study the composition and properties of substances) plotting light shifts in the stars or enjoy splitting Double Stars, stars so close to each other that they look like a single star. There are also Optical Doubles, not true doubles just stars that line up.
I will star the thread with my shot last night of VEGA taken with my Seestar S30
From the WIKI: Vega is the brightest star in the northern constellation of Lyra. It has the Bayer designation α Lyrae, which is Latinised to Alpha Lyrae and abbreviated Alpha Lyr or α Lyr. This star is relatively close at only 25 light-years from the Sun, and one of the most luminous stars in the Sun's neighborhood. It is the fifth-brightest star in the night sky, and the second-brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere, after Arcturus.
