This optical binary star can be easily distinguished even with a small telescope. Both stars, one with a brightness of 5.6 mag and the other with 6.5 mag, are separated by 14.8". The first one has a yellow-white color, while the second one has a light blue color. The light from the first star travels 680 light-years to reach us, while the light from the second star travels 690 light-years. In a larger telescope, two more optically associated companions can be observed. |
