a nice double star, with brightness components of 4.8mag and 7.3mag (bluish) at a distance of 7.6". The main star is also a binary, currently unobservable with a small telescope. The second component is almost as bright (5.1mag) and lies at a distance of only 0.5". It is yellow in colour. In the same field of view is Struve 1999, a dark yellow pair of 7.4mag and 8.1mag components, at a distance of 11.6". |
