A binary star, which is a good test for a 100-150 mm telescope. During a calm night, this unequally bright pair of white and yellow stars appears as two disks in contact. However, if there is any turbulence in the atmosphere, the stars merge into one elongated droplet. They are separated by 2.2" and their magnitudes are 4.7mag and 6.7mag, respectively. |
