f Eridani

f Eridani


We are now at the lettered stars. "g Eridani" is the brightest of this group at 4.2, and "f" appears to be next brightest because of its combined visual magnitude of 4.3.
    In reality "f Eri" is a pleasant double star that goes by the name of DUNS 16 (4.8, 5.4. PA 212º and separation 8").

Now if you put y Eridani at the upper left corner of your glasses, the brightest star in your field of vision, just southwest of centre, is "e Eridani": binoculars.

We are now quite far south, at -43º declination. If you've been able to voyage all the way down to these 'lettered' stars, you aren't that far from completing the voyage.
