Gamma Andromedae
Double stars are not my favourite objects to capture and this shot was simply a coincidence.
While I was waiting for Jupiter to "move" in my field of view on my balcony,
I aimed the telescope with installed Quickcam VC at a star in the northern part of the sky.
To my surprise I've recorded a double star that is Gamma Andromedae.
Gamma has a brightness of 2.2mag and it's neighbour 4.9mag - their distance is 9.6"
