A binary star distinguishable by a small telescope. The primary star has a magnitude of 3.5 and the companion has a magnitude of 8.2, with an orbital period of approximately 1,200 years. In 1985, the companion was 6" away from the primary star, making it observable with a telescope with a 6 cm objective diameter. By the year 2000, their mutual separation had decreased to 5.8". Even so, it is not a problem for a 200 mm telescope, in which we can also see their yellow or light blue color.
