Thanks, Mark. You saw more than I did in that. Your reply was cogent, though it was not the one I intended. To speak to your point, if you think back on the Beginner introductions (or read back through them), most beginners want to see everthing from the Moon to the Milky Way and try astrophotography. You don't know what you can be interested in. I certainly knew from theory (college class) that stars orbit each other, no surprise but I had no idea how much personal satisfaction there is in pursuing binary stars. They're everywhere! And they fall into categories because some are not orbiting binaries only accidental arrangements and yet one of stunning examples is Albireo a yellow and blue pair, easy to find in the Northern Cross (or Swan). And some stars that look like one star - Castor in Gemini is easy to find - a small telescope will resolve into two, but not all six.
