nice double star, with components of brightness 4.8mag and 7.3mag (bluish) at a separation of 7.6". The primary star is also a double star, currently not observable with a small telescope. The second component is almost equally bright (5.1mag) and is located at a separation of only 0.5". It has a yellow color. In the same field of view, there is also Struve 1999, a dark yellow pair of components with magnitudes 7.4mag and 8.1mag, at a separation of 11.6". |
