One of the more frustrating times for observing is when the moon is near full, when the rising chorus of our natural satellite drowns out the diminutive voices of faint asteroids. This doesn't mean that telescopes and cameras must sit idle during this time, allowing valuable photons to hit the ground. There are many other targets available even during full moon. Among these are visual double stars, which - with the aid of an automated telescope/camera - can be quickly measured and so add valuable observations that can be used to compute binary star orbits.
