Mythology and history

Characteristics

The constellation of Perseus is a precious and enormous square stellar group of more of 600º located in the North hemisphere near the circumpolar zones since it crosses the parallel of 50º of North latitude by the north and reaches 30º of North latitude by the south. He is observable during great part of the year, from August to April, culminating during the month of November on the zenith or our heads; however for the inhabitants of the South hemisphere, one is a constellation difficult to identify that it culminates to low height during the austral spring.

            The equator of the Milky Route or our galaxy crosses by the noroccidental sector the constellation of Perseus, for that reason great amount of stellar C L U S T E Rs and double and variable stars in Perseus is observable, is possible to emphasize the double C L U S T E R of Perseus, that turns out fascinating to observe it with any telescope in dark nights of winter and far from the luminosity of the cities.  

            During the night from the 11 to the 12 of August he is observable in the constellation of Perseus to observe the meteor rain of the famous perseids ones world-wide to present/display bolides shining and remarkable meteor multitude. In the Web he is available the last meteoric radiating observations of and among them the perseids ones.

            The constellation of Perseus I located the 22 of January of 1982 at the age of 14 years from the locality of Inca, Majorca, Spain to it.

Observations by telescope

                NOTE: One is a concentrated planetary nebula in two outstanding nuclei of cloudiness, the NGC651 is practically considered impossible, being observed with clarity NGC650. One is in a partially rich zone. It is observed with the eyeglass of 50x, although unquestionably better image with 200x is obtained

                NOTE: One is in a rich zone. Cloudiness in the accumulation is observed, therefore, he is impossible to count the number of stars that form it, almost has rhombus form. A remarkable concentration is observed towards the center; it is identified without difficulty with the eyeglass of 50x.

                NOTE: One is one of the famous ones doubles accumulation of Perseus. It is formed by more than one hundred stars of different brightness, distributed of an irregular form honoring multitude of triangles and rhombuses; it has a slight concentration towards the center, therefore, one is a quite rich stellar accumulation.

                NOTE: One is the second accumulation that is in the double accumulation of Perseus; one is very impressive a stellar accumulation, formed by one hundred stars of similarity brightness, ramifications of structure with angles of position of 100º and 290º are observed; and multitude of star groups forming triangles and rhombuses. In this diagram it is observed in the North part of NGC 884; pertaining to the previous accumulation. It is identified at first; but the best spectacle we obtain it with 50x to observe both, and with 100x to study the internal structure of some of them, with 200x, we watched zone limited and of strong concentration; like the previous one, has a notable and significant concentration towards the center.
