Vega is the brightest star high right after sunset. Close by it are three interesting double stars for binoculars and telescopes.Just above Vega, spot 4th-magnitude Epsilon Lyrae, the Double-Double. Epsilon forms one corner of a roughly equilateral little triangle with Vega and Zeta Lyrae. The triangle is less than 2° on a side, hardly the width of your thumb at arm’s length.
