A binary star, with the primary component having a brightness of 5.6 magnitude, is accompanied by a 6.6 magnitude companion at a separation of 7.1 arcseconds. The companion orbits the primary star every 1,160 years. In a 100 mm telescope, we can easily distinguish the fainter and darker components.
