a binary star lying just on the boundary with the constellation of the Little Lion. These two partners have brightnesses of 4.5mag and 6.3mag.

In 10-15 cm telescopes and 100x magnification, it is an unequally bright, colorful binary. The main component appears yellow-white, the guide is bluish to greenish.
